Bar Orient - Fremantle

Came across bar Orient a couple of weekends back, it was bucketing down so we stopped for a beer (just in time for lucky hour @12pm!) Ordered really chips, a kids Parma and a beef brisket burger. All really homely and comforting. The peppercorn sauce is THE BEST I have tried in Fremantle so far and have lived here for 4 years! Love the Beer Of The Month $8.50 pints and the atmosphere is really nice and laid back! I need to come back for The Monday Club and see how we go!!

Just had ribs and a salad and it wasn't bad for $10 each.. Nice a quiet for lunch with little traffic going past. We sat outside and the seagulls kept us amused with their antics

Never again worst food ever. Didn't even finish our entreè. Waited 40 minutes and the calamari was horrible like rubber. The cucumber in the salad not fit for a snail.

Went to see a Fringe Fest gig with good first impressions. Alas, the gig was over before our food arrived. We inquired during intermission but were told it was still on its way. In all? A 2hr wait for very mediocre pizzas. They said they had run out of large pizza bases so were giving 2 smalls for those who ordered large. I guess that means they don't make their own? Drinks were expensive too at $14.50 for a glass of house white and a middy of Creatures beer.

Found on thehappiesthour.com advertising $15 steaks on Monday nights 5-9pm. We drove from Como to Fremantle for the steak and then when we arrived at 7:30 we were told that they're out of steak. I ended up having the parmigiana and my partner had the $15 deal with chicken taking the place of the steak. The meals were both generously sized, tasty and came out fairly quickly. There was a musician performing this (Monday) night and he was very good, we ended up staying a fair while after our meal to watch. I then ordered a long island iced tea after being given the cocktail recipe sheet instead of a drinks menu, which was far too strong, we ended up giving it back to the bar staff to fix which they happily did by adding more coke and ice. Overall the staff were attentive and friendly but perhaps might need some cocktail training (just a friendly suggestion). Despite being disappointed about the lack of steak we had a nice evening due to the lovely musician, nice staff and good food.
