Eat @ Whalers Restaurant
Our aim at "Eat" is relaxed seaside dining using as much local produce as possible. The old Whalers Restaurant has been rebranded as 'Eat @ Whalers' to reflect the contemporary, simple, and fresh nature of our new service. Only the best of what the Peninsula has to offer in local produce and premium wines is provided.
Managers, Allister & Tenney, have designed an elegant and innovative new selection of cuisine which you will find a listing of in the SAMPLE MENU.
Enjoy a lunch in the shade on the deck and enjoy views of Encounter Bay in its understated oceanic elegance, or perhaps dinner by soft candlelight whilst witnessing the fading glimpses of your busy day.
Open for brunch, lunch and dinner. Booking essential.

Weddings @ Whalers
Your wedding day is a special time, and naturally you will want everything to be just as perfect as it can possibly be. Whalers has everything you need to ensure you have a fabulous day.
For a delightful outdoor ceremony we recommend the Bluff breakwater or beach in front of the restaurant, overlooking Encounter Bay in all its natural beauty.
There are many more options to choose from, including the deck area, restaurant and any of several function rooms. All are excellent choices for hosting a wedding ceremony or reception.
