Radiating the surf village lifestyle of surrounding Cape St Francis, Joe Fish restaurant is the social hub of the Cape St Francis Resort, where beachy is always beautiful and welcome, even if your feet are covered in sand.

As the culinary soul of the Cape St Francis Resort, the restaurant’s menu is swayed by seasonal ingredients and availability of fresh ocean morsels, offering an eclectic selection of seafood as well as steaks, ribs, snack baskets, burgers and Thai curries.

Baggies and sundresses are considered ‘dressed for lunch’ and Joe Fish welcomes patrons both day and night, whether it’s simply for a coffee, an easy lunch, or full three-course dinner. Shaded deck tables overlook the swimming pool and garden, while the light and airy atmosphere is continued indoors with spacious seating accentuated by greenery and beach styled décor.

During the day in particular, Joe Fish is the perfect restaurant for families with children, and you can walk straight off the beach trailing the sandy gang. Let the kids swim, or build sand castles in the restaurant play area, while the grown-ups chill out with a long cold drink. Food options such as calamari or fish fingers and chips go down a treat with little ones, who can also smash down smarties and ice-cream while playing in the sandpit.

More mature palates may be tempted by seafood combos, surf and turfs or exotic options such as vodka flambé calamari and coconut poached chicken noodle salad. Crowd favourites, including burgers, ribs, steaks and fish and chip baskets, remain on the Joe Fish menu throughout the year. If you’re looking for the best calamari in town consider your search over, while vegetarians will not be short of mouth-watering options.

Joe Fish takes good food seriously and is consistently ranked as one of the best restaurants in St Francis Bay, so let us stir the pot while you let your hair down. We’ve got your food cravings covered.

The spacious restaurant also leads off to a separate, characterful pub where you can sip on a pre-dinner drink and enjoy the laid-back local vibe. There’s craft beer on tap, a marvellous collection of red and white wine and a full selection of spirits.

Top local tip: Head to Joe’s Bar in winter for lazy evenings around a roaring log fire.

The restaurant is open daily and regularly runs Friday and Sunday lunch specials. Booking a table is not essential but is recommended, especially over weekends and during the Summer when the carefree ambiance of the seaside makes outdoor seating difficult to find. If you miss out there’s always the option of takeaways.

Top local tip: Try the calamari and rib special on Sundays. You get a free bottle of house wine and live music thrown into the deal.
