The Dock Seafood And Oyster Bar


We wanted to have seafood at Fremantle. So when we saw this restaurant listed on Groupon Australia, we bought the deal! :) We went ahead though the online reviews were mixed.

Reservation: It was hard to make a reservation with the restaurant from Singapore. I did not want to make a long distance call just to reserve. But they did not have a website nor email. So I Facebook messaged them, which took them a super long time to reply.

Location: I would have preferred to eat seafood by the Fremantle sea, for ambience’s sake. So I was fairly disappointed when I realised that this shop was inconspicuously located in a quiet stretch of inland shops.

First impression: A shop with very simple furnishings and limited décor. From the Groupon listing, I somehow expected it to be better. The restaurant felt more like a budget café than a seafood restaurant in Australia.

Fremantle - Seafood

Our Groupon Deal: A shared seafood entrée, 2 mains and 2 cups of wine/beer.

The food: Thank God, the food did not disappoint! Fresh seafood.

Pricing: We paid A$59 / approx S$70 in 2013, which was what we paid for the Groupon deal. Though I think their original food menu prices is over-priced. So unless you manage to get a good deal here, I probably suggest you look elsewhere. Otherwise, their food was really not too bad!

Fremantle Markets


Fremantle Markets (fremantlemarkets.com.au) seems to be one of the must go places in Fremantle. It’s a heritage architecture with rich history, where you can buy fresh local produce, organic goods, indigenous & independent products. Soak in the great music & atmosphere too!
