Sandcastle Organic Cafe | Fremantle
I eat mostly organic food at home but rarely when I go out. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that the choice of organic cafes and restaurants is very limited. However, there are a few organic restaurants around and Sandcastle Organic in Fremantle is one of them.
The Sandcastle is one of only a handful of restaurants in Australia who have decided to focus on organic ingredients. We match organic beer, wine and spirit to cuisine of excellent quality and presentation. Our focus extends to organic producers worldwide, but we endeavour to support local and boutique products in Western Australia. We have undertaken this organic specialisation as a result of our commitment to the pursuit of increased quality in all that we consume, and that which we offer to our customers and friends. We hope you enjoy the food, wine and ambience of The Sandcastle.
A review of Sandcastle Organic can be found at Abstract Gourmet:
Sharon got a curry puff and I ordered some bread and olive oil. I think I subconsciously judge a place by the quality of its olive oil. Luckily they use some very nice organic stuff that was quite peppery and managed to hold its own against the balsamic vinegar.
On to the mains. I couldn’t go past the centre cut fillet of beef on oak smoked mushrooms… The decision was made and a glass of Grenache Shiraz Cabernet to go with it. The beef was excellent, although sadly, not cooked the way I asked. I asked for medium rare and it came out a most definite medium. Still tender, but scarcely pink as far as my eyes could tell in the glaring 4pm autumn sunlight. It was already late enough though, and it was still very edible, so I waived the offer to recook it, and instead was offered my drinks for free… a lovely compromise.
Overall the food was great. Rich earthy flavours and complimenting textures from each dish we tried. Definitely a place to try if you’re looking for a healthy change or a tasty distraction from the sterile masses. The owners are very friendly people too, good service is always a delight.
I haven’t been to the Sandcastle but I’ve heard a few people mention it and all have given good reviews. Feel free to leave your review by leaving a comment.

That guy has some interesting stuff to say alright…
Thanks for stopping by Matt and great review!
I have to say that the Pumpkin Soup was divine. I am going there tomorrow because i loved the service and the food was exceptionally high standard. They also create a wonderful atmosphere with their warm welcome and its obvious their heart goes into their business. I love it!
Thanks for leaving a review.
I’ve also had a few people emailing me saying how much they love the food and service at the Sandcastle so they must be doing something right…
