Old Courthouse

It's not every day that you go out of your way to visit a courthouse, but thanks to this recent renovation, you might find yourself going much more often!

The building has been standing tall since 1899, occupying an important place in Fremantle's rich history. Nowadays, instead of sitting amongst the jury, you can sit amongst other like-minded diners who fancy something really special for lunch or supper. Given that they occupy a historical building, Old Courthouse is strikingly modern with a full glass outlook that is complimented by minimal décor to let the light really flow through the venue uninterrupted. If it's sunny out, you simply have to visit their courtyard which bears all the trademarks of inner-city alfresco dining.

The menu very much focuses on uncomplicated, homecooked food that everyone will be glad for. Whether you're joining for lunch or dinner, familiar favourites like crab linguine, street tacos, cauliflower steak and kangaroo skewers await. They also have a great range of burgers that go very nicely with an ice-cold pint on the patio on a warm Spring's day.

Avid lovers of the weekly roast too, they boast an in-house rotisserie chicken that is drenched in meaty gravy and served with chips and slaw. Follow that with a hot apple pie and that carb coma is definitely on its merry way, but it's totally worth it.
