Love this place for a tapas type meal, better than the one we went to in subiaco. It's very chic and funky here with nice comfy couches, vibrant colours etc. Cocktails were delicious, too nice maybe, probably shouldn't have had that third one! I like the music, it's normally pretty quiet so also easy to talk to your friend/s without blarring music in your ears

Went with hubby on a Saturday for lunch and we really had a nice meal, it was quite busy as expected but the food came out reasonably quick and was of good quality, hot, fresh etc. Beers were nice, had the staff recommend an SSB to me which was also really good. We stayed for longer than expected as it was so relaxing and just a nice, vibrant and happy atmosphere

A nice big ice rink where you and the kids will get exhausted in no time. They do lots of pro skating here so it's not open to the public as much as I'd like so you need to plan when to go as it's open for a few hours here and there. They play games which is good as you're not just skating in circles the whole time, it's good to watch some of the more experienced people doing their stuff. Not a cheap few hours but they are in the entertainment book last time I looked which makes it more affordable

We went with some friends for the Halloween night tour and it was a lot of fun - it wasn't scary spooky but more scary geeky - they had people jumping out of coffins, dressed up and walking up on you that kind of stuff. Made us all laugh and overall was an enjoyable night

Approximate cost: $18

Love this little place. We shop here all the time as they have the freshest fruit and vege in the area. Also love the butchers and bakery attached who offer the same high quality. You can see the family working around they store, they are always helpful with any questions.

A bit expensive but I think this is because it's part of the Fremantle Esplanade hotel, it's more fine dining cafe rather than just cafe. Service staff were quite nice and gave good recommendations on what wines went with what meals. Mushroom soup entree was tastier than I thought, meat was cooked perfectly and salads was all fresh. We had a nice table overlooking the parklands and could watch the ferris wheel going round and round all lit up

We love going here on a Sunday after a morning shop at the markets, hubby enjoys the huge range of beer while I enjoy some wedges and a burger or fish and chips - never fail me :) We love sitting out on the balcony, or leaning over and watching the buskers near the square there

My nana and pop live in Maylands and this is their fav place for breakfast so they took us there and we loved it. I ordered the 'Yes Yeshna' which was eggs with spinach, feta and corn/potato fritter thing with toast. It was so yummy and nice and healthy, decent size which filled me up. Topped off with a hot chocolate. I can certainly see why they like it so much. It's not a huge place, book in advance and park across the road is generally easier.

Well I didn't think this was fine dining. The restaurant itself is lovely but the food we had wasn't that nice, just expensive. I mean, we knew we'd pay more and were fine with that but expected a decent meal in return. My steak was burnt on the outside, every mouthful just tasted like charcoal. Hubby's fish was ok though. The side salad was just a cabbage/rocket thing with vinegar and then we also got some potato bake dish that I could have whipped up at home - and do - when we only have cheese, potatoes and milk in the house! I guess I just expected more - shame really, we'd been looking forward to it for ages

My husband doesn't really like Indian food so it's not often we get to have Indian but we went here for a family dinner and it was exceptional. Onion Bhaji's are my favourite and I swear I could eat these as my main rather than entree. So lovely and full of flavour, nice and crunchy with a gorgeous dipping sauce. For mains I had a chicken tikka masala as I love tomato based curries, the sauce had gotten right in to the meat and it was really tender. I am getting hungry just writing this review. By far the best Indian I have tried - their applecross restaurant is closer to us so hoping we can visit there next time hubby doesn't mind Indian
