About Matilda Bay Restaurant

Perth locals mark their big milestones along the Swan River foreshore over chilled wine and fresh Western rock lobster. Expansive windows frame passing boats, black swans, and the distant city skyline, pulling the river right to your table. Guests routinely gather here for milestone birthdays and intimate receptions, welcomed by attentive floor staff and celebratory surprises like birthday brownies with candles. The kitchen anchors long lunches around the signature Cray on the Bay, crisp seafood platters, and duck fat potatoes paired with Margaret River chardonnay. Meals finish quietly over a regional cheese board or a salted caramel cocktail while lights ripple across the water.

  • Swan River Panorama: Expansive foreshore windows overlook the Swan River, nearby yacht club cruisers, and city skyline.
  • Milestone Celebrations: Guests return for milestone occasions with dedicated rooms like Catalina and tailored event menus.
  • Local Crayfish & Wine: Features signature whole crayfish presentations alongside regional Western Australian wine pairings.
