A favourite of mine for many years, found by the boats at Mindarie Marina, is The Boat! I’ve enjoyed loads of casual pub meal at this waterside spot. It used to have a very traditional British pub feel, in more recent years it had a makeover and now enjoys a much lighter and airier coastal vibe. I really like it!
The spacious pub has plenty of seating inside, though it’s no surprise most people like to sit outside near to the water’s edge. There’s a relaxed beer garden with shade sails over the tables and chairs.
The menu boasts a selection of typical pub food, burgers, parmy, pasta, steak or fish and chips along with desserts. Mr H enjoyed super crisp beer battered hake and chips, served the British way with mushy peas, tarte sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon. 
There’s plenty of share plates too, which easily double as an entree. I wasn’t feeling super hungry, so opted for a light haloumi taco trio, as it was a good gluten free option. I was also accidentally vegetarian.
There’s a good selection of wine and beer to enjoy from the bar. Why not treat yourself to a summery cocktail?
Open every day until late, The Boat is a lovely spot to enjoy a meal by the water, be sure to take a 30 second walk around the corner to the Indian Ocean Brew Co too, for more craft beer and views.
Find The Boat at Mindarie Marina, 33 Ocean Falls Blvd, Mindarie.
