Cicerellos

April 6th, 2010 10 comments

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.

Fremantle

April 3rd, 2010 3 comments

Fremantle is one of my favourite suburbs to visit on the weekends. Just a 20min drive from the city and it’s everything I encompass Perth to be: Beach, Seafood, Shopping, Cafe culture, relaxed atmosphere, huge on boating culture, Weekend markets, green lawns and beautiful sunsets.
Fremantle

The city is named after Captain Charles Fremantle, the English naval officer who had pronounced possession of Western Australia and who established a camp at the site. The city contains well-preserved 19th-century buildings and other heritage features. The Western Australian vernacular diminutive for Fremantle is “Freo”

Fremantle
Usual itinerary as follows: Park at the CPP car park. Walk into the weekend market. Order a ham & cheese crepe. Eat and walk through the Farmer’s market. Walk down the cafe strip. Window shop a bit. Check out the Onitsu Tigers at Wonderlust. The Cornere store on South Terrace. Coffee at Merchant Coffee & Tea Leaf cafe. Walk to the beach. Watch the sunset. Come dinner time, walk to Cicerellos for fish & chips or chilli mussels.

My favourite shop in Fremantle is the Corner Store on South Terrace. Love love LOVE everything in there.
