Kid-Friendly Cafes and Restaurants in Fremantle

15 September 2022

From markets to pubs, warehouses to arcades, there’s no shortage of great places to eat out in Freo, and it’s not just the adults that get to have all the fun. Dine in with the kids in tow at one of these family favourites around town (as recommended by Kids in Freo!).

Gage Roads

This port side gem has quickly become popular with families and for good reason. With loads of fun things for the kids both inside and outside, visiting is always a good idea, rain, hail or shine. Grab a beer, order a meal and settle in, because the kids aren’t going to want to leave anytime soon.

Bathers Beach House

Where else can you watch the kids run wild with a drink in hand, food on the way and sand between your toes? On a clear afternoon or evening, you can’t get much better. No playground required!

Ootong & Lincoln

Looking for a place to get your caffeine fix and a bite, with the toddler in tow? This long standing South Freo café has some great retro vibes and a small play area for the little ones, giving you more time to chat to your mates about just how sleep deprived you are.
