It is our aim to surprise and delight, offering our customers the food and service you wouldn’t normally expect while still remaining quintessentially Rottnest. Having a deep involvement and love for Rottnest for over 30 years has helped us design Thomsons to cater for all, from families, day trippers, overseas visitors, to the boating fraternity.

THOMSONS REVIEWS
” The view from the restaurant is over the bay and really lovely. We didn’t have to wait long and the staff were friendly and helpful “
The view from the restaurant is over the bay and really lovely. We didn't have to wait long and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Don't think because this is one of few restaurants on the island that you'll be stung on price. Food pretty good and prices very reasonable. Portions good.
With seating overlooking the ocean and marina and quality food, I was very pleased with the dining experience here and will be back soon.
Thomsons Rottnest island provides delicious seafood and friendly staff who caters for dining, parties and even weddings while one enjoys the sweeping views over Thomson bay.
Overall, I enjoy the atmosphere and if one day I had time to visit Rottnest again, I would come to this restaurant to enjoy the sunset.
