Really great fish and chips! We went down to on my dad's birthday and everyone loved it. Especially the birthday boy. Mum and dad got the seniors deal, which was from memory $16 and included their fish and chips, coleslaw, ice cream, and coffee. Not a lot of places you can get value like that lately. The fish had a really nice, super crispy batter, and it wasn't oily. And there were two fillets included per serving too which made it a good portion size. I was wondering if it would be a good size serving of chips but with the fish fillets and coleslaw it was a good serving.

I really liked the addition of the coleslaw - it's a pretty inexpensive addition for the cafe but it makes a huge difference to the diner, making it a well rounded meal instead of just a fast food option. The dressing was also really nice, it was rich like a coleslaw should be but not overbearingly thick like some of the flash hamburger joints in town do it. The tartare sauce was also great, and not too rich or flavoured, it seems like they make it in house too. One serving was enough for three people. The ice cream was nice, it was better than Baskin and Robbins but still obviously not at gelato-shop tier. There's a choice of either vanilla or chocolate with the seniors meals, they were both great.

Lastly is the coffee which was really nice too. I had a flat white and my parents had a cappuccino. Everyone liked theirs - again, it was as good as you'd expect from a dedicated cafe. The staff were also friendly and really attentive. And it's a stone's throw from the waterfront. There's shaded seating areas outside which are very chill, and the music was very millenial-orientated but everyone seemed to enjoy it.

My one criticism would be that the soft drinks seemed to be a bit expensive, we figured it was about 4$ - $5 each for a ginger beer, but when you consider how generous everything else is, I don't think it's a deal breaker.

All in all I really couldn't fault it, and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking to get lunch in Freo. Especially fish and chips, I don't think there's anywhere else that would do it better. Especially not at this price point for seniors. Thanks for helping us celebrate dad's birthday guys!
