Cassia Fremantle

Snag a seat right at the chef's counter—honestly, it’s the only way to do Cassia properly. Watching the kitchen brigade work the pass is pure culinary theater. Fremantle’s most discerning eaters know to hand over the reins and order the premium 'Feed Me' menu. Total carte blanche for the chefs. Expect fiercely imaginative Australian plates landing fast and fresh. That potato bread slathered in rich tallow butter? Non-negotiable. The beef tartare and perfectly fired Scotch steaks? Absolute knockouts. Word of mouth points heavily to the stellar floor team—staff like Galpie and Maeve run the room with slick, effortless charm, while the bar shakes up some of the sharpest cocktails around. Fair warning: the dining room gets loud, and big groups might find the seating a bit tight. But the electric, fast-paced atmosphere—paired with a flawless potato pavé—makes every single bite totally worth it.
