Mandurah Restaurants: Foreshore, Dolphin Quay & Marina
Mandurah is barely an hour south of Perth, and most of its best restaurants sit in three walkable pockets: the foreshore and boardwalk along Mandurah Terrace and Ormsby Terrace, Dolphin Quay on Zephyr Mews, and the marina and estuary edges around Marco Polo Drive. This guide walks you through each pocket, then covers seafood, breakfast, families, dogs and booking. Opening hours were read from each venue's own website on 21 October 2026, so check before you go, because kitchens change their days often.

Quick Answers
Key Takeaway
For a first dinner, pick the pocket that suits the night. Choose the foreshore boardwalk for steak, craft beer and a relaxed evening, Dolphin Quay for marina views, Italian and fish and chips, and the Mandjar Bay and estuary edge for sunset and a longer sit-down meal. If you stay at Josh's Sea Breeze, the foreshore is a 7 minute walk and Dolphin Quay is 10 minutes on foot, so nobody has to drive home after dinner.
Quick answers
Best known waterfront names include The Peninsula, Bellini Italian, Sharky's, Brewvino, Boundary Island Brewery, Altitude 26 Seafood and Grill and The Cray, all listed by Visit Mandurah as waterfront or top places to eat. For breakfast, Wood and Stone Cafe won Best Breakfast at the WA Gold Plate Awards in 2022, 2023 and 2025. For dogs, Boundary Island Brewery lets you bring a dog as long as it stays on the lead.
Mandurah foreshore and boardwalk restaurants
The foreshore is the heart of town and the easiest place to wander until something looks good. Brewvino, at 41 Ormsby Terrace, sits on the boardwalk overlooking the foreshore and calls itself the home of the best steaks in Mandurah, with craft beer, wine and cocktails. It is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11.30am until late and closed Monday and Tuesday.
Wood and Stone Cafe, at 2/38 Mandurah Terrace, is the all-day option: coffee and breakfast, then burgers, pizza, tapas and cocktails later in the week. The venue is open until 9pm on Thursday, 9.30pm on Friday and 10pm on Saturday, with the kitchen closing a little earlier, and it closes at 3pm Monday to Wednesday and Sunday. Visit Mandurah lists it with a kids menu and colouring-in.
Sunbreakers, at 110 Mandurah Terrace, is a short stroll from the city centre, the redeveloped foreshore and Dolphin Quay. It serves lunch from 10am to 3pm and dinner from 5pm Tuesday to Saturday, is closed Monday, Sunday and all public holidays, and publishes a kids menu.
Dolphin Quay and Zephyr Mews dining
Dolphin Quay is the compact marina village at 4 Zephyr Mews, where you can eat with boats at your elbow. Bellini Italian, in Unit 1 at 4 Zephyr Mews, serves modern Italian with marina views. It is open Monday to Friday from 11.30am to 8.30pm with a break from 3pm to 5pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 11.30am to 9pm, with a daily happy hour from 5pm to 6pm.
Sharky's, at Shop 1/4 Zephyr Mews, is the casual pick for fish and chips and fresh local seafood, with Visit Mandurah noting marina views, an indoor playground and a kids menu. Large groups are welcome and you can book on its website.
Turquoise Cafe, at 37 Dolphin Drive on Dolphin Quay, does lazy breakfasts, lunches and its well known bottomless brunch with harbour views. Oceanic Bar and Grill at The Palladio is the pub style choice, with pizza, steaks, seafood platters, burgers and ribs. The Dolphin Quay dining directory also lists Maneki Sushii, Springbok Kitchen, Jasmine Thai, Alfresco Indian Cuisine, D'Lights Cafe and Oysterbedz, so the village covers most cravings in a single short walk.
Marina and estuary views for a long dinner
For a slower meal with a view, The Peninsula at 1 Marco Polo Drive looks out over Mandjar Bay. It combines pub classics with coastal dining and uses WA produce. The kitchen is open daily from 11am, closing at 10pm Sunday to Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday, and tables are booked through the venue's website.
Altitude 26 Seafood and Grill is listed by Visit Mandurah as fine dining with fresh local seafood and views over the estuary, and The Cray is described as award winning seafood by the Ocean Marina. Boundary Island Brewery, at 21 Marina Quay Drive, Erskine, overlooks Boundary Island and serves breakfast, lunch or dinner with local ingredients where possible, plus beer, wine and cocktails.
Where to eat seafood and fish and chips
Visit Mandurah's seafood list names The Cray, Flics Kitchen, Brewvino, Altitude 26 and Sharky's for sit-down meals, and Cicerello's for classic fish and chips. If you would rather cook at your holiday home, the same page lists places to buy fresh seafood to take home, including Wattsies Place, Fisho at Gilbert's Fresh Market and The Fish Market at Mandurah Forum. Check the crabbing rules before you head out with a net, which our Mandurah crabbing guide covers in detail.
Breakfast, coffee and bakeries
Mandurah does breakfast well. Wood and Stone Cafe is the award winner, Turquoise Cafe adds harbour views, and D'Lights Cafe is tucked into Dolphin Quay overlooking the marina. Miami Bakehouse, at 13-15 Rouse Road, Greenfields, is next to Gilberts Fresh Market and is under a 10 minute drive from the foreshore, with pastries, pies, desserts and coffee. Seven Trees Coffee roasts its own blends in a 1950s diner style space.
Family friendly and dog friendly picks
Visit Mandurah's kid friendly list includes Sharky's, Wood and Stone Cafe, TODS Cafe, Mandurah Steakhouse, Boundary Island Brewery and Cafe Coast. Boundary Island Brewery has an outdoor play boat and a kids menu, and it is the one venue we could confirm allows dogs, on a lead. The other pages we read did not state a dog policy, so ring ahead or use Visit Mandurah's pet friendly page before you bring a dog.
A simple Mandurah food weekend
Start with breakfast on the foreshore, walk it off along the water, then fit in a dolphin cruise, which our Mandurah dolphin and Christmas lights cruises guide explains. Have fish and chips on Dolphin Quay for lunch, rest at the pool, then book a sunset table at The Peninsula or Bellini. Finish Sunday with a late brunch before the drive home.
Where to stay near the restaurants
Josh's Sea Breeze is a two bedroom apartment for four, with a queen bed and a double bed, a private balcony overlooking a shared year-round pool, and a shared tennis court.
