About The Boatshed Restaurant

Set right on the South Perth foreshore, this riverside institution delivers front-row city skyline views with genuine family-run warmth. Longtime owner Graham still patrols the floor—welcoming regulars and setting an unhurried, comfortable pace while city lights bounce across the Swan River. Table bookings fill up for date nights and milestones, where kitchen staples lean into generous portions of beef fillet alongside potato dauphinoise, crispy artichokes, and shared seafood platters.

  • Foreshore Skyline Views: Unimpeded panoramas across the Swan River capture the downtown skyline and water reflections.
  • Hands-On Floor Hospitality: Owner-operator Graham actively greets guests and oversees dining room service, continuing over three decades of hospitality.
  • Milestone Celebrations: The dining room caters to anniversaries, birthdays, and special occasions with attentive service and thoughtful touches.
