We go here about once a month for a sumptuous seafood lunch. To sit on the boardwalk in Fisherman's Harbour, people-watching on a sunny sunday, is a true pleasure. Lots of dishes to chose from, all cooked to perfection. More

I went to Kailis Bros for lunch with a friend. For $11.50, the Chowder was a good deal. It came served in a bowl of bread with a pleasant sauce and a nice range of seafood pieces. We each had a beer from the bar, which serves bottles only and only takes cash. The location is pretty, right on the... More

As a Brit, I've had my fair share of fish and chips in my life, but this was some of the best ever! Fresh fish, freshly cooked in fresh oil. (None of that horrible greasy-chip-shop-old-oil taste here.) I thought the price was pretty good compared to other places I'd eaten in and around Perth, and the choice was great. The... More

Although I wouldn't applaud the service as being out of this world the seafood more than makes up for it....delicious and unpretentious, take your kids! More

We were recommended this restaurant by the hotel because of the amazing seafood. Sure it was good, but not amazing especially for the price. More

I just love fish and chips, but it has to be in moderation. During our first visit to Western Australia in February, a friend said that was a "must visit". It is! Kailis Fish Market Cafe is every bit as must an event as an evening's dining. It is huge, noisy and fun. The variety of fish and seafood on... More

If you're chasing decent fish & chips then Kailis' is a good place to stop. You can sit inside or outside alongside the fishing boats if the weather is good. We usually order the fisherman's basket which is reasonable value. Be prepared to queue for your order & wait a little while to collect your food. But there are plenty... More

The Kailis Fish Market Cafe is well located beside Fremantle’s fishing boat harbour though the large outside deck faces East and therefore doesn’t get any evening sun (shame to miss the sunset). It’s self-serve and you need to pay up front and are provided with a buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready. It was bustling when... More

We ordered 1/2 BBQ lobster and BBQ combo (squid, fish kebab, scallops) and a side of chips. Seafood was ok, nothing special and just lacked flavour/seasoning. Nice outside dining area overlooking the fishing boats though, and good selection of beer and wine (cash bar only at the time we visited). More
