Third Wheel Café - Fremantle

Third Wheel Café in Fremantle leans into the pleasures of hearty, well-travelled cooking. Its menu reads like a passport stamped with favourites: crisp Peking duck spring rolls, pumpkin and roasted capsicum arancini, and seafood given pride of place.

From N.T. saltwater barramundi with chips, salad and a punchy laksa aioli to crispy-skinned Norwegian salmon, the seafood is clean, bright and satisfying. Stateside cravings are met with an American cheeseburger, a southern fried chicken burger and a 450gm American T-bone, while the greens have their moment in a chicken shawarma salad finished with cool tzatziki or spiced roasted pumpkin and hazelnut layered with vegan cheese and hummus.

The mood is easy-going and family friendly, with a kids menu, generous sides of chips or wedges and sauces to suit every taste. Settle in for a breezy bite or an unhurried supper, and let conversation linger over plates built for comfort and good company. Grab a table, bring your appetite, and let the flavours take the wheel.
