Cafe Del Pescatore (Scarborough Beach, WA)


Address: 1 Manning Street, Scarborough WA 6019
Tel: (08)9245 3525
Website: http://cafedelpescatore.com.au/ (don't know if this is official because it looks like it needs a bit more work)
Trading Hours: 7 days, for lunch & dinner

Above: WA scallops - these were fantastic and got my tastebuds excited for the next course. Cooked well, tomato bruschetta-esque dressing was a fresh accompaniment to this dish.

Below: Seafood Bruschetta - another great entree. Very rich with a seafood sauce and prawns but tasty and well executed.


Above: Marinara Spaghetti.

Above: Grilled Barramuni with spinach & pumpkin salad - this was terrible, such a let down. The barramundi didn't taste as though it was seasoned at all and was one-dimensional against an undressed spinach leaf and boiled pumpkin salad. I would have liked to see the pumpkin roasted with crisped edges for some texture but I seriously struggled to eat this as a meal.

Apart from being like 50m from the beach - this restaurant has little to offer except for those scallops which I should have ordered as a main and stopped there. Fairly overpriced restaurant for the quality and innovation displayed during my visit - WA has great seafood but they just couldn't bring the best out in the mains.
