Where to Taste the Best Seafood Along Western Australia’s Coastline
Calling all Malaysian foodies and travellers with a taste for adventure — Western Australia invites you to savour a coastline bursting with flavour. From fresh lobster pulled straight from the ocean to long-table seafood banquets with views that stretch to the horizon, it’s a destination where every meal feels like a celebration of the sea.
Just a short flight from Kuala Lumpur, Western Australia’s culinary scene is shaped by its pristine waters, world-class produce, and a laid-back coastal lifestyle that Malaysians will find refreshingly familiar — yet wonderfully different. The region’s chefs and local producers take pride in serving up dishes that highlight the natural abundance of the Indian Ocean, paired with some of Australia’s best wines from nearby Margaret River and beyond. From tranquil canal cities to remote island escapes, here are some of Western Australia’s most unforgettable coastal dining experiences — each offering Malaysians a delicious taste of adventure.
Mandurah – A Seafood Lover’s Paradise
Just an hour south of Perth, Mandurah is a charming canal city where sparkling waterways meet world-class seafood. This coastal gem is now home to Sea West’s brand-new ‘Sunset and Seafood Cruise’ — a 2.5-hour culinary voyage that combines Mandurah’s golden sunsets with a five-course feast prepared on board by a private chef. As you cruise past the tranquil estuaries, indulge in freshly caught local seafood paired with premium wines from Howard Park Wines, one of the Margaret River Region’s most celebrated wineries.

For those seeking a hands-on adventure, the Wild Seafood Experience takes you on a luxurious ocean-to-plate adventure. Try your hand at catching your own Western Rock Lobster before sitting down to an eight-course seafood banquet paired with award-winning Margaret River wines. As you dine, dolphins often make an appearance, weaving playfully through the boat’s wake. It’s an unforgettable experience that captures the very essence of Western Australia — fresh, free, and full of life.
Perth – Madalena’s Bar & Fremantle Octopus
In the heart of South Fremantle, Madalena’s Bar captures Perth’s coastal lifestyle in one irresistible setting.
