The staff keeps vacuum the floor and make sure it’s very clean!! The fish is so tender and moist with thin crispy batter! Very generous size! Great salad combo! Many families surprisingly not noisy at tall!!! Good selection of food!

This cafe earns my 5 star due to their attention to detail with cleanliness for relatively crowded venue with a lot of children and tourist coming through. Staff are seen vacuuming, cleaning and wiping down even the baby chair (this is quite a rare site to us). This cafe certainly sets a good standard to what tourist attraction F&B venues should strive for. We ordered the fish & chips for $17.90 and found the portion to be generous and taste pretty good. Value for money. We were initially looking out for food venues and cafes nearby but happy to just relax at this cafe without needed to travel back and forth elsewhere!

A lovely cafe at The Aquarium of Western Australia for a quick lunch fix! A variety of western food is to be selected from the menu. Shepherd’s pie and baguette were good. Service was prompt and most importantly the cafe is not crowded. Recommended this cafe to anyone who wishes to enjoy some seafood while visiting the aquarium!
