The Great Southern has some of the best produce in the world, so it’s no surprise that their restaurants don’t take any chances. Whether you’re looking for classic fish and chips, pub fare, or a sexy nightlife destination, we’ve found 8 of Albany’s best restaurants for your next trip down south.
Freedom
Located in the corner bar of the heritage-listed London Hotel, Liberté is very, very cool – offering an excellent selection of wines and craft beers, paired with a tantalizing mix of French and Vietnamese bar food. You’ll need it once you’ve sampled a few selections from their delicious cocktail offerings.
160-162 Stirling Terrace, Albany
Garrison Restaurant
Another Albany heavy hitter is Garrison, with an incredibly varied (and tasty) menu that features delights such as Jerusalem artichokes served with truffle butter, honey and feta, or cold-smoked Kinjarling Akoya oysters with native lime. There’s a food for every mood, and you’ll be ready to indulge after all the exploring you’ve done.
7 Forts Road, Mount Clarence
Ocean & Paddock
There are plenty of great fish and chip options around town, but it’s hard to top the multi-award winning Ocean & Paddock, voted Best in WA by the WA Fisheries Industry Council Awards for three years in a row! Their seasonal menu features many traditional fish and chip dishes, as well as more inventive uses of local seafood – think seafood tom yum, seared local bluefin tuna with a warm udon salad or even a boil seafood from Louisiana.
116 Middleton Road, Middleton Beach
Directly south
If you’re looking for big, honest meals, head south, where you’ll find huge portions and spectacular views of the Princess Royal Harbour. They do mean steak, but we reckon their rotating specialties are really where they’re at – especially if you can get your hands on their spicy Korean-style brown chili.
6 Toll Place, Albany
Earl of Spencer
If you like your pub food and pints steeped in history, Spencer’s Earl is a must visit. The owners have worked hard over the past couple of years to really clean up the place – no small feat considering it’s one of Australia’s oldest pubs. If you have little ones in tow they also have a nice enclosed outdoor play area.
60 Earl Street, Albany
Majuba Bistro
Sensual and inviting, Majuba Bistro is the perfect place for a cozy dinner in Albany. This tiered bistro mixes classic French and Spanish bites – though you’ll taste hints from across the continent. Spanish-style duck rillettes, pork belly in a sage crust, mussels with fries… It’s a little piece of Europe in our Deep South.
132 York Street, Albany
Monty’s Jump
One of the best wine producers in the Deep South, Monty’s Leap has an equally good restaurant. Showcasing the region’s finest produce, you can expect crisp, fresh seafood accompanied by Bred Co bread, Green Range lamb and more.
45821 South Coast Highway, Kalgan
Wilson Brewery
If it’s craft beer you’re looking for, be sure to visit Matty and Jessica Wilson of the Wilson Brewing Company, who have been brewing amber pride since 2016. They’ll be happy to chat with you throughout throughout the process while offering a tasting of all the latest novelties. beer they’ve experimented with, while the Wilson Food Van will keep you well fed with burgers, wings, and more.
