The Cottesloe Beach Hotel has officially launched its exciting new venue, Tigerfish, marking a significant addition to Perth's vibrant dining and social scene. The South East Asian-inspired hangout opened its doors for a select preview on Friday, November 14th, 2025, introducing a fresh culinary concept to the iconic waterside location.
A Fusion of Flavours and Local Vibe
While Tigerfish draws its inspiration from the dynamic flavours of South East Asia, it remains deeply connected to its Western Australian roots. The venue successfully pairs a zesty and inventive food and drinks menu with a hyper-local coastal aesthetic, capturing the unique energy of the Cottesloe beachfront. The essence of WA is in full voice, offering a dining experience that is both exotic and familiar.
Inside the Tigerfish Experience
The venue is cleverly designed as two distinct spaces to cater to different moods. For those seeking a casual drink with a view, the front bar and its striking curved stone bar are perfect for walk-ins. The dedicated dining room, however, encourages a slower, more relaxed pace, ideal for long lunches and comfortable conversation among friends.
Leading the team at Tigerfish are venue manager Mark Rutter, executive chef Steven Ryu, and bartender Brendan Scott Grey. Their combined expertise promises a high-quality experience for all guests.
A-List Launch Celebration
The exclusive opening night attracted a glittering crowd of Perth's social and media elite. Notable attendees included Channel 7’s Matt Tinney, western suburbs real estate mogul Vivien Yap, and social influencers Lissy Graham and Montana Criddle. Their presence underscored the high anticipation surrounding this new hotspot.
With its compelling mix of international cuisine, local charm, and stunning location, Tigerfish is poised to become a favourite hangout for both locals and visitors to Cottesloe.
