Bluewater Grill is without a doubt one of Perth’s most epic riverside venues. Set on the pristine Applecross foreshore, up high in the manicured grounds of the gorgeous Heathcote Centre complex, Bluewater Grill is a heritage-listed building mere metres away from the gorgeous Swan River. Its superb vantage point boasts truly spectacular, uninterrupted views of Perth City, The Swan River and The South Of Perth Yacht Club.
Point Heathcote was one of the landing and camp sites of Captain James Stirling during his exploration of the Swan River in 1827. It was named after one of Stirling's crew members, Midshipman G. C. Heathcote, said to have been the first European to set foot on the site.
Bluewater is open for lunch and dinner every day, with a sensational buffet breakfast spread on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. Bluewater’s Function Centre, Private Wine Room and Private Dining Room are available for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.
The Bluewater Kiosk supplies simple cafe-style food that can be eaten in the alfresco area, or taken away into the grounds of Heathcote Reserve. There is also a children’s playground where kids can play and parents can keep a watchful eye whilst enjoying a coffee at the kiosk.
Bluewater Grill is a serious grill-come-brasserie, featuring an informal fine-dining restaurant that showcases the very best of West Australian produce and wines. Upon entering, the rich timber heritage furnishings combine with the contemporary, bright aspects to create a warm, inviting and elegant environment. Dine inside, or outside in the relaxed alfresco setting with its truly unparalleled views of the river and city.
Head chef Brad Leahy has concentrated on fresh, local food that doesn’t compete with the view, and simple yet elegant food which lets the produce ‘speak for itself’. The menu offers a fine selection of WA produce that is driven in daily to ensure freshness and quality. Only the best ingredients are used in every one of Brad’s dishes.
The menu can be described as Modern Australian but – due to Brad’s background and passion – it has a very strong Middle Eastern skew. In addition to these Middle Eastern-style dishes, there is some fabulous Modern Australian cuisine to choose from.
The Bluewater bar offers a great selection of Australian wines, with a few New Zealand wines also. The bar is stocked with a variety of aperitifs and digestives, as well as the world’s best spirits, cognacs, whiskeys, ports, Armagnac’s, and ‘stickies’. Ask our bar staff for their recommendation to match your meal.
