Fremantle Food & Multicultural Culture Walk

Taste Fremantle's multicultural food culture — the Italian espresso tradition, the Vietnamese precinct, the Lebanese bakeries, and the craft beer scene that have made Freo the most culinarily diverse suburb in the Perth metropolitan area.

  1. 1

    Gino's Cafe South Terrace

    Gino's on the South Terrace Cappuccino Strip is a Fremantle institution — the Italian cafe established in the 1950s post-war immigration era is where Perth's espresso culture began, and the pavement tables facing the heritage streetscape define the Freo lifestyle.

  2. 2

    Fremantle Markets Food Hall

    The Fremantle Markets food hall in the Victorian market building is a world food court — vendors selling Malaysian, Vietnamese, Lebanese, and contemporary Australian food compete with fresh produce stalls in a vibrant weekly gathering that reflects the city's migration history.

  3. 3

    Vietnamese Precinct Hampton Road

    Hampton Road in the O'Connor area east of Fremantle has developed a Vietnamese food precinct — the pho restaurants and Vietnamese grocers that followed the post-1975 refugee community have created one of Perth's most authentic Asian food destinations.

  4. 4

    Essex Street Cafe Strip

    Essex Street and the surrounding West End laneways have the highest concentration of independent cafes in Fremantle — the specialty coffee roasters, brunch spots, and wine bars in the heritage buildings of this precinct represent the new wave of Fremantle food culture.

  5. 5

    Fremantle Craft Beer Trail

    Fremantle has the highest density of craft breweries of any suburb in Australia — Little Creatures, Gage Roads, and a dozen microbreweries have made Freo the capital of WA craft beer, with a brewery trail connecting the port, the West End, and the Fishing Boat Harbour.

  6. 6

    Kakulas Brothers Deli

    Kakulas Brothers on Market Street has been selling spices, dried fruits, and international produce since 1929 — the Greek-Cypriot family deli is a Fremantle institution where local chefs and home cooks shop for ingredients unavailable elsewhere in the city.
