Delightful experience, to be booked several days in advance. We chose the $72/pp menu and each dish was more surprising than the previous ones. The flavours were fresh and unique and quantities appropriate. The service was great, we got the right amount of attention throughout the night. The buillding is beautifully complimented with pieces of art. We sat upstairs and got to watch our food being prepared. Great experience - only con: slightly loud room.
I came here for dinner and honestly I can't recommend this place enough. Everything was amazing, and the staff were by far some of the nicest I have ever experienced. Super friendly and helpful. Compliments to the chefs too - everything tasted brilliant!
Wow. Hubby and I enjoyed an incredible meal at Lions & Tigers last night, possibly new favourite restaurant in Fremantle, hands down the best Asian-inspired food. Not surprising given it’s led by the same legends that brought the goods at Freo’s beloved breakfast spot Duck Duck Bruce (we miss you, don’t get me started). We ordered the kingfish crudo (my word, that sauce!!), shark bay scallops, roast pumpkin, roast pumpkin & pickle brined chicken supreme with cheddar & truffle stuffed sourdough naan - every dish was wonderful, perfectly cooked, balanced flavours.. so so good. Cocktails were great, service was friendly and efficient and the ambience was spot on. Wish we could have sampled every dish on the menu, just means we get to come back soon!
Lions and Tigers Indian Restaurant – A Culinary Triumph in Fremantle. This was our third visit to Lions and Tigers, and if that doesn’t say enough, let me be clear—we’ve tried the rest, and this is simply the best in Perth. Since we live in the northern suburbs, dining here is usually linked with an overnight stay, and it’s well worth it every time. Lions and Tigers offers a tapas-style experience, where you pick a few small plates and a main, and if you pace yourself, there’s even room for dessert. Onion Bhaji is always our starting point—my personal benchmark for any Indian restaurant. They nailed it. Crisp on the outside, soft (but not mushy) inside, perfectly balanced with pickled red onion. The cumin and coriander shine through without overwhelming. If only I could make them this good! A standout was the Shark Bay scallops, replacing the octopus we once loved. No disappointment here—just beautifully cooked scallops, elevated with a masterful blend of spices and mushrooms. For the first time, we tried the Fried Sri Lankan Black Pork Curry with Jalapeños—hot, fiery, and absolutely packed with flavour. Huge, well-cooked chunks of pork paired with fragrant saffron rice made it an unforgettable dish. No visit is complete without their sourdough naan with whipped ghee. I’ve had naan all over, but nothing comes close to this. It practically melts in your mouth, and with a dollop of whipped ghee and black cardamom salt, you might as well be in heaven. To finish, we shared the Dark Chocolate Delice—a divine mix of peanut butter, roasted white chocolate, and caramel. Probably more than we needed, but completely worth it. Drinks? My wife enjoyed a Shiraz, and I stuck to a Lions & Tigers Lager (or two). The service is impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with staff moving seamlessly between tables, making sure everything is just right. Booking is essential—this hidden gem won’t stay hidden for long. Outstanding food, brilliant service—you’ll want to tell your mates but maybe not too many! Rating: 10/10. Already planning our next visit.
Incredibly delicious South Asian food! My favourites were the tuna crudo and the lamb rendang samosas. So much flavour with a nice spice kick.
