The Boatshed Restaurant

We come to The Boatshed Restaurant every year the week before valentines day, we have been doing this for 3 years and it is ALWAYS a wonderful experience. The staff are super friendly and attentive, the food is elite and the beautiful views are breathtaking! We even entrust our wine selection to the staff to go with our meal and so far they have nailed it every year 🥰
The staff even came and pointed out a pod of dolphins in the water for us and our little one to see, just magical. We always leave super happy 🥰

Edit:
Booked a table last minute for 2 for Valentine's day, Graeme and staff could not be more helpful. The menu was to absolutely die for.
We can't recommend them any more highly. Will definitely be coming back.

Booked a table for 2 on the 6/1/24 for my partners birthday.
The staff at the boatshed exceeded all expectations dramatically,
The food was absolutely amazing. They couldn't help us more.
Will definitely go back

Wow we had mums 80 th birthday there today, from the moment I walk into this place I couldn’t fault it . Graham and his impeccable team were wonderful. The food was absolutely beautiful the staff were so attentive the view was amazing.
Thank you, go try it for you self , you won’t be disappointed I promise you 😊

We had our wedding at the Boatshed restaurant on the 28th of December 2023 and from the point of first contact with Graham to picking up all our belongings the day after the wedding, everything was perfect. We had the ceremony on the banks of the river and then we all entered for the reception. Thank you for the delicious food and attention to detail. All the guests loved the food and you were able to cater to everyone's dietary requirements. The view is absolutely gorgeous at any time of year but that is not the only thing that makes this venue amazing. We only needed minimal decorations to enhance a beautiful restaurant. My father is a hard man to please but he was so happy with everything. Thank you for making our day so perfect! Love sash and shashi

Really nice restaurant by the beautiful south banks for Swan River. With city highlights in sight .cozy and well decorated. Really friendly staff.food was extraordinary.i had grilled barramundi. I'll definitely come back to enjoy the other options on the menu

A little bit different but just wanted to express my gratitude to a wonderful restaurant owner. Friends and I were at the Cafe next door and my daughter needed bathroom the doors that go between Cafe and restaurant were closed so I walked through Cafe to head to outdoor toilets. The owner came out the front door told me to come inside and use the toilet facilities and he then said once we were done he would show us that we could go though closed doors (they were shut to keep place cool). So much kindness meant so much. Congratulations to you opening restaurant 28years ago the success is a true testament to you. I have visited restaurant and cafe a number of times and always had a wonderful experience with both food and service. Thank you again. 😊

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Boatshed last month, everything ran so smoothly.
The food and service was impeccable, and of course the view wowed our guests.
Claire was great to deal with throughout the planning. 100% recommend other couples to look into this venue for your wedding. It was the best decision we made!

Really nice meals and great service. It's very fancy and the fish was amazing. Possibly the best fish I've ever tried.
Very pricey meals though but it's definitely worth it for the quality, presentation, the service and the view of the city.
Great experience.

I think this place is so underrated. Amazing views, there's a nice playground you can access through the cafe. The food is delicious, generous servings and the staff are so friendly and helpful!! Worth a visit!!

Third time coming with international visitors. They food and cocktails was delicious we couldn't fault the flavour or presentation. Service was great and friendly helpful staff. One of our musts for food service and views to dine with guests. Thanks guys.

Wild mushroom arancini was amazingggg! Barramundi was fresh and great. The slow cooked lamb shank was also nice and tender. We had an awesome time here!

We celebrated our friends birthday there food was tasty service was the best.

Recently celebrated our Wedding Anniversary here and enjoyed a fantastic evening.

We had the most amazing view overlooking the Perth city skyline.

The food and service was first class.

Would definitely recommend for that special occasion.

One of the nicest restaurants ever!
Staff are lovely, they all engaged with our group very well. The choice of food and wine were broad enough to appeal to everyone on our table. Seating and dinnerware was nice, comfortable and suiting the lovely venue.
Surprisingly not busy for a Fri night. I guess 50% busy.
The view across the river of the city lights was very nice. Parking is paid on council land and you will need a torch / or your phone for this as there's no lighting and the parking meters are not backlit.
This is not a cheap venue. However it was a special night and we all had a wonderful time. Yes, I thoroughly recommend the Boatshed Restaurant !

Went here for a 3 course meal. Every dish was perfect and cooked well. Would recommend if you want to enjoy a really nice whilst enjoying an amazing view.

Fabulous location with views across the river and a dolphin passed by whilst we were eating. Very nice menu and what we had was faultless.

Had a very wonderful experience here! I booked a table for two on 20/04/2022 at 7:00pm.

We ordered a dozen oysters and I loved their Russian baked oysters! It reminded me of lasagna. It was very warm and flavourful. The watermelon + lime granita oysters was unique! I was quite pleased with it, but would have preferred if the lime flavour was stronger to balance out the sweetness of the watermelon or add a little bit of salt.

For entrees, we ordered the poached prawns and smoked beef carpaccio. The smoked beef went so well with its parmesan and capers. It felt like the beef was melting in your mouth because it was sliced so thinly and it was just amazing! I’ve had plenty of beef carpaccios around, but using smoked beef was definitely a very nice change in flavour. I highly recommend it, and is definitely a dish I would come back for.

The poached prawns was nice, but would have preferred if it was seasoned a little. The most interesting element in that dish for me was the brandy soaked grapes! I enjoyed having that very light hint of alcohol flavour bursting with the grapes’ sweet juices when you bite into it.

For mains, we ordered the beef fillet and grilled barramundi. The barramundi was cooked perfectly, and the skin had a very nice crisp to it. The mirin + miso butter sauce was so sensational; full of body with strong flavours of umami - but the potato + edamame mash balanced it out so well. It was definitely a wow dish for me.

The beef fillet was cooked nicely to our medium-rare request. The potato tartiflette was delicious too, and the portion was just nice.

With 5 dishes, 4 drinks + sparkling water ordered, our bill came to a total of $244 - which was way below what we were expecting to pay. I was expecting anywhere between $300-$400, but what a nice surprise!

Amazing food, great pricing, wonderful service from staff, beautiful atmosphere within and stunning views outside. I would definitely come back and would be recommending this place to others. Much preferred it in comparison to Nobu or C Restaurant.

Nearly needed a wheelchair when leaving the place as we ate so much. Who ever is the pastry/dessert chef deserves a gold star as the desserts were magnificent! Views of the city across the Swan are brilliant. We will be back for sure.

We originally wanted to try an Italian restaurant nearby but they were fully booked so we googled what was near by and found the Boatshed. We were pleasantly surprised with the aesthetic and service! It overlooked the Swan river and the city, very picturesque at night.

Fancier than what we’re used to as students but it was so worth it and such a nice treat!

The seafood linguine was fantastic. The amount and quality of seafood was the topic of conversation for a while! We were so impressed! They also had different specials that looked amazing!

They have a very long list of wines that are well priced by the glass and I’m sure everyone would be content by the choices because there is something for everyone’s taste.

My friend had the crèmeux dessert and it was to die for! Although everything on the dessert menu looked amazing to be honest.

Next time my parents are in town, I’ll definitely take them there because as a student it is on the pricier side.

I went there for friend’s wedding. Staff were fabulous and friendly. Nice intimate setting to celebrate special occasion, also very wonderful scenery overlooking Perth city. Easy finding car park space also. Food served was nice and fresh. The beef dish we had were super yummy and delicious, the fish was ok, and entree (salmon and potato) was another superb dish, never get to try the chicken dish, but my friend said was nice too. Nice table setting.
