Old Pearler Restaurant
The Old Pearler Restaurant
A small restaurant built from coquina shell rock from Shell Beach, said to be the world's only one. It is known for seafood platters, has only about ten tables, and needs booking ahead.
Located on Knight Terrace on Denham's seafront, the entire building is made from coquina, a shell rock quarried at Shell Beach, and it is said to be the world's only coquina restaurant. It focuses on local seafood. The signature seafood platter includes lobster, fish, oysters, scallops, garlic prawns and chilli squid. The portions are large but not cheap. Daily fresh fish and Shark Bay prawns are also available. The restaurant is tiny, with only nine or ten tables, so call ahead. BYO is allowed for a corkage fee of about AUD 5 per person. A few older reviews mention overcooked lobster.
