Strange Company

Right off the Freo strip—just a punt away from the WAFL action at Fremantle Oval—sits a modern street-side joint dripping with character. Strange Company hits that elusive sweet spot: buzzing and vibrant, yet never rowdy. Post-footy crowds and boutique wine chasers alike champion this space as the ultimate weekend drop-in. The lighting? Flawless. The playlist? Dialed in. But the real flex is the pass. We're talking serious culinary chops—plump scallops electrified by punchy XO, lardo, and lemon verbena, alongside stellar pork belly. The hospo pros behind the stick operate with undeniable sprezzatura, happily pouring samples of crisp Emmalene SB or shaking up textbook Amaretto sours to guarantee your glass matches your mood. Unpretentious, impeccably serviced, and effortlessly cool.
