Hillarys Beach Club: Menus, Prices & Perth Reviews

Perth’s beachside dining scene has no shortage of options, but Hillarys Beach Club draws crowds for good reason — sitting right at the water’s edge at Pinnaroo Point, it packs three distinct venues under one roof. If you’ve ever wondered whether the venue lives up to the buzz, or whether your wallet will feel the sting of that ocean view, here’s what locals and visitors actually report after eating there.

Location: Hillarys, Perth · Downstairs Restaurant: Bar Cicchetti (Italian) · Upstairs Tavern: The Heart · Operating Hours: Breakfast, lunch, dinner · Tripadvisor Rating: 5.0/5

The following table summarizes the venue’s essential operational details.

Is Hillarys Beach Club expensive?

That’s the question most first-time visitors ask before booking a table. Based on verified dish prices and reviewer feedback, the answer is nuanced — the venue sits at a premium tier for the Hillarys area, and whether that feels justified depends heavily on what you order.

• Mini kingfish tacos: $12 each (wakame, wasabi mayo, yuzu dressing)
• Spicy salmon crispy rice: $21
• Blackened miso ora king salmon: $28
• Sunday roast: $38 (black angus fillet, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, braised red cabbage)
• Fritto Misto small plates: $22 each (lemon pepper squid, white bait)
• Stone-baked bread: $14
• Midie beers: $14 each

Comparisons to similar venues

Hillarys Beach Club ranks #34 of 49 restaurants in Hillarys on Tripadvisor, according to the platform’s current rankings. While the ranking isn’t a full quality verdict, it positions the venue solidly within the local competitive set rather than at the top.

The implication: visitors paying for the oceanfront setting should adjust expectations — the premium partly reflects location rather than cuisine alone.

Who owns Hillarys Beach Club?

Ownership details for Hillarys Beach Club remain unconfirmed in publicly available sources. The research did not surface verified corporate registrations or named ownership statements from tier-1 or tier-2 sources.

What kind of food does Hillarys Beach Club serve?

The venue operates three distinct food concepts, which is part of what makes it distinctive — but also means the dining experience varies depending on which floor and which menu you order from.

Downstairs menu

Bar Cicchetti (the downstairs venue) serves European-inspired breakfasts and all-day Italian dining. The Australian Good Food Guide describes Ubon’s Seafood Tower as available here, featuring lobster tacos, kingfish crudo, half-shell scallops, red prawn gyozas, pickled octopus, and oysters.

Upstairs offerings

The Heart functions as a pub and tavern, hosting the Ubon Japanese fusion concept alongside more traditional pub fare. According to PerthNow’s review, the upstairs menu includes pizzas, pasta, fish, grill options, chips, burgers, moules frites, and Geraldton crayfish.

Japanese fusion dishes at Ubon @ The Heart feature kingfish crudo, spicy tuna/salmon with crispy rice, and small plates designed for sharing. PerthNow’s critic compared the spicy salmon crispy rice favorably to Nobu’s famous version, noting it “isn’t half bad.”

Which restaurant is upstairs at Hillarys Beach Club?

Details on The Heart

The Heart occupies the upstairs space and operates as the venue’s pub and events level. Beyond standard pub fare, it features private dining areas available for booking — making it a popular choice for group celebrations and corporate events that need a dedicated space away from the main dining floor.

The Heart also hosts the Ubon @ The Heart Japanese fusion concept, which sources describe as the venue’s most distinctive culinary offering. According to HungryHungry’s case study, the venue has received recognition for its multi-concept approach.

What do people love about Hillarys Beach Club?

Reviewer feedback highlights consistent themes — the oceanfront setting stands out as a major draw, while the food quality divides opinion depending on price sensitivity.

Top review highlights

Several positive patterns emerge from verified review sources:

• The Sunday roast at $38 impressed PerthNow’s critic as “the unexpected highlight of the meal” — outperforming the fusion dishes in their estimation
• The balcony and ocean views generate consistent praise in Tripadvisor reviews
• Drinks, particularly the spicy margarita, receive positive mentions on Wheree platform

Atmosphere and events

The venue is described as family-friendly with ocean views, sitting at Pinnaroo Point’s beachfront. The official website frames the venue as where “exquisite dining and events converge.” The Heart’s private dining areas support group bookings, while the downstairs and kiosk options cater to casual drop-ins.

What this means: the venue targets multiple occasions — a casual beachside coffee, a date night dinner, or a private celebration — but the self-ordering QR code system sits awkwardly against the premium setting for some visitors. According to a UK Tripadvisor reviewer, “the food is good but remains expensive, it’s an order yourself experience which really jars with the experience you would expect.”

For Perth visitors deciding between Hillarys Beach Club and other beachside options, the trade-off is clear: the venue offers a more varied dining experience than a standard pub, with genuine ocean views and Japanese fusion alongside traditional tavern fare, but at prices that require swallowing the occasional wince. Those prioritizing atmosphere and a memorable setting over strict value will likely leave satisfied. Visitors more price-sensitive may want to stick with the celebrated Sunday roast rather than experimenting with pricier fusion dishes that didn’t consistently wow reviewers.
