Bread in Common - Fremantle

Well what's one to do on a chilly Monday night in Freo? I can answer this with confidence after spending last night at Bread in Common in the heart of Fremantle. 

I've been lucky enough to visit this eatery on many previous  occasions and the most recent did not disappoint. The converted warehouse is beautifully utilised to make the most of the almost cavernous space. An interior design which is almost as interesting as the food itself, they really have ticked all the boxes in making this a must-see establishment for locals and tourists alike. 

The menu can be described as cosmopolitan oversized tapas, which on first glance can look a little daunting. I've discovered the best approach is to just roll with it, order a few dishes and see what happens. 

We (obviously) started with chunks of freshly basked bread and oil, with a couple of interesting dips (sweet potato and garlic sausage), all delicious and washed down beautifully with a nice glass of shiraz. I'd like to explain the rest of our choices but there is no way I could tell you the ingredients without looking at the menu again, so I'll just summarise in noting that we enjoyed some minty lamb ribs, succulent chicken, tomato and garlic swordfish, chickpeas and mushrooms, courgettes with mint and feta and a million other flavours. Oh and the most amazing roast potatoes that I have encountered in the Southern Hemisphere. 

Everything was a taste sensation, food arrived promptly, the staff were attentive, friendly and actually managed to look like they enjoyed their job. Well done Bread in Common. 

It's the first time I've visited on a Monday night and I would definitely recommend it. There is no waiting to be seated or served, it's still busy enough to provide a nice atmosphere and the noise levels are just right. 
I have to give it 9.5 out of 10. Go see!!
