Kailis Bros Fish Market & Fish Cafe, Leederville, 2.5 stars, $60 for 2 inc wine

The fish is fresh and our dinners are tasty and the service timely; so why do I just not really like this place?

Is it the atmosphere? bright and beige.
It is the formulaic service from young characterless teens?
Is it the 95 year old next to me gumming a poor lobster?
I am not sure, somehow there is just no life here.

That said my food was excellent as was the wine. The old small grip here is the oysters where not well shucked.

Gypsy Tapas House, Fremantle, 3 Stars, $200 for 2 (inc Wine)

Gypsy Tapas House, Highgate Court, High St (Cnr Queen St), Fremantle 3.5 Stars

What you can expect in Fremantle, friendly, nice atmosphere, just a bit grungy - mostly in a good way.

Nice traditional selection of simple tapas like dishes. We had the all you can eat option that seems like a gret idea, but on reflection picking specific dishes might be better, we will do that next time.

You do need to book: Thu-Sat 11am-11pm, (08) 9336 7135

Good Fortune Duck House, Northbridge, 3.5 Stars $30 for 2 (no wine)

Good Fortune Duck House, 344 William St Northbridge 6003

Great Value: Typical basic decor, but fast, basic and friendly service

$30ish for a duck dinner is tough to beat.

Forest Hill Winery, 4 stars, Cnr South Coast Hwy & Myers Road Denmark (4km west of Denmark) $110 for 2 inc wine

Great location, with views down the valley toward to ocean.

Nice ingredients and simple menu. My steak was over done a little which is difficult for me to understand or forgive for a place claiming to be up market. When asking for rare make sure you emphasis the rare. They could do with better vegetarian options I think.

Mostly others where very pleased with the food and wine.

Slow service and a strangely large number of flys in the room is a little off putting.

We will definitely return when next in Denmark.
