Family-Friendly Eateries In Perth

Spending time together as a family is easily accomplished by making a reservation at one of the many fantastic Perth Family Restaurants. Yet, let's be honest, even the most hardened among us may get nervous simply thinking of taking the kids out to lunch. But, choosing a family-friendly restaurant is the key to a stress-free dining experience when you're out and about with little ones.

Here are a few suggestions for family-friendly eateries in Perth that will please both adults and children, ensuring that your visit will be one to remember and one that will keep you coming back for more.

Fiddleheads

We chose to have our first lunch in the city at Fiddleheads after spotting its attractive limestone structure directly across from our accommodation. Even though we had driven for 3.5 hours from Toronto, we were not in the mood for pub food. The good news is that everyone can find something they like at Fiddleheads. Beef skewers served with couscous and a shrimp cocktail were one of the night's specials.

We opted to split the Voodoo Penne and the brochette because we were trying to stay away from fried foods. In comparison, the shrimp cocktail served as an appetiser came second to the brochette, which was flavorful and served as a pleasant light lunch. This penne dish included sea prawns, scallops, and chorizo sausage in a Clamato reduction and a corn and black bean salsa. The seafood was fresh, but we didn't think the Clamato reduction did anything to bring out its natural flavours. Likewise, fiddleheads were not included on the menu because it is currently not fiddlehead season.

Our kids ordered from the kids' menu at Fiddleheads and devoured their linguini pasta and chicken tenders. We finished off our meal with the Maple Bourbon Pecan Tart and an Ice Cream Parfait. Skip Fiddleheads and go elsewhere if you're in the market for a craft beer. There was an Amber Ale from the local Perth Brewery, but otherwise their collection was dominated by beers from the larger breweries.

Although our supper at Fiddleheads was the least memorable of our Perth travels, we nevertheless enjoyed it very well. The patio overlooks picturesque Stewart Park, and the menu features some tasty selections. In addition, the restaurant is quite sizable, so finding a seat is typically not an issue.

Cabana Pool Bar and BBQ Mindarie

Perth's Cabana Pool Bar and Grill at the Mindarie Marina is like a mini-Bali, complete with a full bar for the adults to enjoy a drink or two as the kids splash around in the pool. You don't have to be a guest of The Marina Hotel to enjoy its facilities on weekends from 11 a.m. to late (after 6 p.m., only those over 18 are permitted).

The pool is a respectable size at 15 by 5 metres, with a depth of between 1 and 1.6 metres. The "Watch Around Water" guidelines require children under the age of five to be within an adult's reach whenever they are near water, even if a lifeguard is not on duty. A long step on the other side of the pool provides access from the shallow end. Several families were enjoying the pool while we were there, so clearly this was a popular with the kids (and adults). There are no regulations concerning the use of pool inflatables and toys, however we ask that you refrain from bringing any particularly large ones out of consideration for other guests. Kids of all ages enjoyed using the dive sticks we brought.

There are chaise couches arranged along the length of the pool, as well as a grassy area partially shaded by a palm tree where you may spread out a rug or towels and, if you're lucky, claim one of the beanbags. But if it's crowded, you should bring a hat, sunscreen, and a limited amount of time outdoors just in case you don't get any shade.

There are Cabanas and Day Beds up for grabs, and you can reserve either one of them. You can reserve one of them online, and the fee will be applied to your bill. Please visit the website at the bottom of this page for the most recent availability and booking details.

There is a dining room away from the pool, and the bar is situated outside the pool area. You can pick between the Poolside Menu and the Cabana Menu, depending on where you'd want to dine. Beers from the nearby Indian Ocean Brewing Co. are available at the bar, along with a wide variety of other drinks. Eating at the bar is an excellent way to take a break from the heat of the pool and sun.

The Cabana Pool Bar and Barbeque Mindarie may be whatever you want it to be, whether you're looking for a place to meet up with friends, have a few drinks, and eat ice cream, or have a complete lunch or dinner and go for a swim.

One thing is certain: it's a terrific way to enjoy the Bali vibes without breaking the bank or leaving the country, and a laid-back, inexpensive way to spend time with loved ones on a sunny day. Please keep your children under careful supervision at the pool and designate a sober driver even though Kids Around Perth encourages parents to drink responsibly. At the bar, you can get free water.

Bistro 54

We wanted to eat at the Stone Cellar on day 2, but there was a 45-minute wait even with a reservation (and this was on a Tuesday). Fortunately, Bistro 54 was only a short stroll away, and we were fortunate to secure a reservation there. Bistro 54 is an Italian eatery offering a limited selection of appetisers, bruschetta, superb homemade pasta dishes, and six delectable main courses. Our go-to place when in Perth is definitely this eatery.

Spanish white Boquerones (anchovies) and plenty of lemon and red onion were the first toppings on our Bruschetta Espanola. Their flavour was superb. The Chicken Kofta was also ordered because we anticipated its popularity with the children and hoped that we would be able to sneak a bite or two. The answer is no.

Since there is no children's menu at Bistro 54, we had the kofta to start and then split a Bolognese for two that was made with pig and beef and featured onions, garlic sweet peppers, and garlic bread. The dish was a hit with the youngsters because the garlic and onions were barely detectable.

To accompany the grilled veggies we ordered as a side, we had the Piperade dalla Spagna, which was a boneless chicken breast atop a stew of sweet peppers and smoked Spanish paprika. The type of cuisine that we would love to cook at home because it is perfectly cooked, healthful, and highly flavorful (but fails to match 100 times out of 100).

A large Chianti braised beef brisket with a Gorgonzola-stuffed twice-baked potato was what we ordered. To be sure the brisket tasted as good as it smelled, we took a little bite. It was. The Murphys' favourite dessert is Crème brûlée, so that's what we ordered. Having a fantastic Italian supper in such a tiny town was a pleasant surprise.

O’Reilly’s Ale House

Due to our extensive dining out prior to our trip to Perth, we were still wary of pub fare. We wanted to go to O'Reilly's because we heard that they had a great selection of craft beers, but we almost didn't end up going there. Thankfully, the majority of the locals we asked suggested we check it out, and we’re glad we did. Salads, burgers, tacos, hot plates, sandwiches, and other pub grub, as well as a good number of beers from local breweries, were among the menu's many healthy options.

The previous two evenings we have been quite good about our diet, but tonight we decided to splurge and order the Suicide Wings as an appetiser and the Butter Chicken for dinner. The wings had a great, crunchy flavour without reaching suicide-level levels of crunchiness. Spicy as heck, but delicious nonetheless: that butter chicken. Yashy went with the Sesame Tuna Bowl, which was not just the healthy option but also sounded delicious. In spite of her good intentions, the Halloumi Crostini she ordered as an appetiser completely undid her hard work.

The kids' Fish and Chips from the kids' menu were the highlight for me. Fish and chips this good are hard to come anywhere west of Newfoundland. The batter was almost perfect, but we wish we could have tried it with fresh cod. But that's just the East Coaster in us being homesick. We enjoyed the meal and plan to return to try more of their offerings.

We also discovered a fantastic new sour beer brewery called Little Pony Barrel Works. Very fantastic was the Storm Front, a red sour ale fermented in oak barrels with lime leaves and ginger. A few days later, on the way to Ottawa, we made a point of dropping by the brewery for a pint. The kids' main motivation for coming back was to get their hands on the free art supplies.

Clancy’s Fish Pub Fremantle

Location: 51 Cantonment Street, Fremantle

The loss of Clancy's would be felt greatly by the people of Fremantle. The restaurant specialises on seafood and beer (mainly local and craft), as the name would imply, but the huge green field and children's playgrounds that surround the building in Princess May Park are not to be underestimated.

The kids' menu isn't very extensive (fish and chips or ricotta gnocchi), but each meal comes with a free juice, and the large back grass ensures that they'll be worn out after playing with the other kids there.

Conclusion

Here's a rundown of some kid-friendly eateries in Perth, Ontario, that have been recommended by the author of this blog post. It recommends eateries that accommodate families by providing high chairs, booster seats, and child-friendly activities like crayons and puzzles so that parents can sit back and enjoy their meal in peace.

The most critical information is the list of recommended restaurants in Perth that are suitable for families. We spotted the charming limestone structure of Fiddleheads, one of Perth's most popular family restaurants, from our hotel and decided to have our first lunch in the city there. Specials for the evening included beef skewers with couscous and a shrimp cocktail. We were trying to limit our intake of fried things, so we ordered a serving of Voodoo Penne and a brochette to share. Even though the seafood was fresh, we didn't think the Clamato reduction enhanced the flavour.

The linguini spaghetti and chicken tenders that we ordered off the children's menu were gobbled up in no time. It's not easy to get a table because the restaurant is so big, and the patio looks out over beautiful Stewart Park. If you're looking for a good craft beer, don't bother with Fiddleheads.
