Cicerellos
One of the best fish and chippie restaurant in Perth is Cicerellos which sits on the fishing pier in Fremantle. The place is huge and can’t be missed if you’re walking across from the city centre to the harbour.
Don’t expect to be served at this restaurant, think of it more of a glorified canteen just to keep your expectations in check. When you enter the place, your eyes are immediately drawn to the huge aquarium which walls the path to the ordering counter.
You order your food from the counter, pick up a electronic tag, and find yourself a seat at the many tables inside and outside the restaurant. It’s quite noisy indoors, so if you want a bit more peace, quiet and sunshine, eat alfresco. But just be ready to guard your food from the hungry Sea Gulls perched on the fence.
When your electronic tag starts buzzin, it means your food is ready for collection from the counter
The two items always ordered are:
- Traditional fish and chips (premium NZ Hoki) – A$12.60
- Fresh Chilli Mussels – A$22.00
Their fish & chips are wrapped in paper. Salt and vinegar available at the counter. Only thing which annoys me: they charge you for tiny packets of tartar sauce. Come on you can’t have fish without tartar!
I like the fact that the Little Creatures micro-brewery is just down the road too! THAT place has just expanded like crazy! Definitely one of the sexiest looking micro-breweries I’ve ever come across.
Enjoyed the little sense of humour on the signs they placed around Cicerellos. I’m sure you can guess what the words abbreviated are.

I loved the fish and chips at Cicerellos! My husband and I loved to sit outside with a big pack of fish and chips and a bottle of wine. One of the locals told me that the entire stretch of fish & chips restaurants is owned by the same guy. Just different branding. I wonder if it’s true.
Looks like someone did enjoyed her trip. This few months its only about Aus. Good for you.
my dad takes his fish & chips seriously. so i gave up on cicerellos awhile back. next time you’re in town…. you MUST must try http://www.sweetlips.com.au!! we always buy the family meal & grab aioli AND tartar sauce for free. it comes with a side of salad/ coleslaw as well. i looooove the deep fried feta. schooo yummy. nom nom nom!! cicerellos has great ambience though
p.s: eh. that football story voting thing is a pain man. such a stickler for the 24 hour rule. i have to wait exactly after 24 hours before i can cast my vote again. wanted to ask you…. will the other participants be notified who “unvotes” their entry??
OMG. I want!
Don’t forget the resident gulls who feed off your scraps! Baskin Robbins across the wharf is what we use to wash down the F&C!
guerilla, I have to try sweetlips! They got free wifi!
@H’s Honeyyou’re shitting me. they have wifi??? sweeeet as!! haHaha!! thats good to know mate. i never knew that
@guerrilla, actually I saw it on their website! But I think it’s only the Freo branch. Must. Go. Soon!
@Bing
Are you sure? if that’s true i’m sure he’s making a killing!!
@guerrrilla
Heya, i know i gave up on the voting. Some guy had a 1000 votes already.
i haven’t tried that feta before at cicerellos. maybe next time!
@H’s Honey
Those gulls are quite bold aren’t they?!
I agree with @guerrilla Sweetlips fish and chips is waaaayyy better than Cicerellos and I read on the Sweetlips Site that thay have BYO as well and they offer awesome email specials when you signup.
All in all, I would go to Sweetlips just for their fried feta. its one of the best things I have ever tasted!
This is sooooo late but I went down to Sweet Lips a few months ago and they were awesome! Wifi wasn’t working and the man behind the counter was a little grumpy but the food alone was worth it. So much better than Cicerellos!
I passed on the fried feta but I probably should give it a shot the next time!
