Thanks guys for a wonderful evening Saturday nite. Fabulous attentive service, amazing food, simply awesome. Had been there to meet with friends for coffee for the first time two weeks ago and so glad we went there for dinner, will definitely be back on my next visit to Albany, huge kudos to your kitchen staff, and btw, that Eskimo pie, just divine and to die for!! Perfect finale to a great night out.

Well..... One of our highlights of our WA trip. The pot of tea for 2 was a bit on the skimpy side but the MEAL... OMG.. we chose the plater for 2 and it was absolutely laden with food. Certainly enough for 2 people. And the Exmouth prawns (which we have become very fond of) were delicious! Would definitely return next time in WA..

The pea falafel entree is fabulous. Steak sandwich and calamari (entree) were both alright but the absolute standout was the falafel dish with beetroot hummus and hot sauce. Food came out relatively quickly despite the crowd and bonus points for having a playground right outside for kids to play. Service was also friendly. No complaints here. Will return.

Great place for a shared meal. The shared platter was enough for 3 hungry adults. It’s right on Middleton beach and the view was beautiful. Everything on the platter was delicious! Our little one also got the chance to go play outside- there is a playground in front of Three Anchors. Would totally recommend anyone to go and would love to go back and try more from their menu. Staff were so friendly and very willing to explain what’s on the menu.

Went here with 5 other people. Good quality food here, apart fron one steak which was too chewy to the point that it was inedible. The staff there were friendly and accommodating though.

The food was really nice, but not wow. It didn’t quite live up to the menu description, but it was definitely enjoyable.
It was well priced, tasty, and showcased local produce. Generous portions, great flavours, attentive service.
Perfect for a date night during the weekdays.

The waitstaff were good; there was someone who was obviously relatively new, and he did well, even immediately checking with the kitchen when I asked if I could remove something from a dish, and telling us that our cheese plate was delayed because it went through as a main (it was on the specials menu as an entree). There were a couple of tables who didn't seem to have any manners (or know how to pronounce 'espresso'), and the waitstaff dealing with them maintained a pleasant demeanour.
The bread was very good, as was the cheese plate, especially with the honey. The cheese was a little bland on its own, unless you had it in a larger quantity at a time.
The pork belly was great, though pretty chewy, and I had to try to inconspicuously pick it from my teeth for longer than I would have liked. My partner enjoyed his chicken burger and chips, though thinks the burger could have done with a bit more flavouring.
The Cookie Monster cocktail was delicious, but there was some dripping down the outside of the glass when I received it that ended up forming a slight puddle before I wiped it up.
The vegan cake was fine; a bit chewy. The coffee was nice.
The eskimo bar dessert was wonderful, and a bit different. Unfortunately I was too full to finish it, which is a mistake I will not make next time. The outside area looks pretty, and I bet is popular during the warmer months.
The only negatives were that the prices were on the expensive side (though closer to average for the area) and there was quite a wait for the mains.

Typical breakfast menu but coffee is pretty good. Ordered a big breakfast and cappuccino. Though it is a bar at night, it has a very nice environment in the day time too.

Both meals were excellent.

21/1/16 - discovered by driving to the beach, atmosphere great, staff polite - lucky we went to check it out because it was curry night and the beef massaman curry was delicious! I don't generally veer off from butter chicken but the curry was great! Will definitely go back! The prawn skewers was good the rice a little spicy. Pork belly salad was to die for and the Atlantic salmon was delicious too!!
Overall best place to dine in Albany.

Came here for Breakky on a busy Sat morning and had a great meal. Service was perfect and food was top notch. Add to this the setting overlooking Middleton beach with a playground for the kids and you have a great destination.

One thing caught my attention from Three Anchors' breakfast menu - the clay pan breakfast. This was previously a favourite at Vancouver Cafe that has all but disappeared from their menu, so to find it elsewhere was intriguing to say the least, and it made Three Anchors a must-try.

The clay pan breakfast was almost exactly as I remember it from the Vancouver days, featuring all the same ingredients albeit with a finer dice. Although minor, it just seemed to take away from the classic country comfort food appeal it previously had with its larger, rough dices. Still, it was a pleasure to have found a replacement to fill the void, and I’ll certainly be back again for a second serving, I just hope the eggs aren’t overcooked next time!

As you’d expect given its name, the avocado toast featured plenty of mashed avocado smothered atop a thick, crusty slice of toast. Unfortunately the pair of poached eggs – much like those in the clay pan breakfast – were overcooked.

Visiting from Perth, we were delighted to find a restaurant so close to our accommodation that catered to vegans and vegetarians. The previous Urban Spoon reviews have been negative, but that was from more than a year ago. They seem to have changed the menu and made it fantastic! We had Pea-lafel and flatbread with chips for lunch; well priced and freakin' delicious. The drinks were few to choose from, but a quality few. We came back for breakfast and ate the Boho Bowl and Drunken Mushrooms with goat's cheese- again, next-level delicious. The coffee was also good. These things all complimented by a beautiful view of Middleton Beach in stormy Winter and a cosy, slightly industrial aesthetic.
It's nothing fancy, but this pub does what it does extremely well. Top marks.

I had grilled fish & chips and my partner had a Reuben. My fish was lovely and the chips were good. I would've liked it more if the fish wasn't on top of the chips because it made it soggy. I do think however, their take away fish & chips is more tasty and better value. My parter loved the Reuben.

Thursday Dinner. No booking so squeezed onto a group table. Really friendly and attentive waiter. We enjoyed local oysters. I had fish of the day (groper) and my partner had the goat curry. We did need to wait a long time for our god but it was worth it! Really yummy! Desert was creative and inspired by everyday sweets such as snickers and Eskimo joes. We have vowed to come back and try the pirate planks.

Really enjoyed it. After reading reviews we where a little hesitant but has such a great view we couldn't resist trying. The food was great, we enjoyed the platter of local produce and visited again for another meal and had a great steak. Wine menu provided local wines which we enjoyed. If you have kids the play ground out the front is a winner. We enjoyed a 3 hour lunch as kids so entertained we felt bad leaving. Definitely try

Amazing oysters. On a recent trip to Albany (for 3 nights) we had the pleasure of eating out at Three Anchors on 3 occasions. The pub was so close to our accommodation so the convenience and then the meals/service kept us going back.

The oysters were amazing, the best we have ever had. We also had the platter and on another occasion we shared a burger and chips. The lemon tarts were a delight, we got them to takeaway.

The staff were very efficient and friendly, we managed to get comfy lounge seats in the corner away from the hustle and bustle.

I went there on a whim while visiting beautiful Albany. The view of Middleton beach was insane. As was the food.. The menu caters to a wide range of diners while still finding a way to be vibrant, fresh and inventive. Our waitstaff were satisfactory and the wine list, yet small, was perfect. We tried the express winemakers white wine honestly reminded us of a summer afternoon in the sun. Hints of stone fruit while not being too sweet. Everything about this establishment oozes potential. I would definitely give it a huge thumbs up, if there are residents in this quiet town ready for a change and spruce up. This is the place.

Currently on holidays from Melbourne and must say this establishment was a pleasant surprise. Wasn't expecting much as I have seen some fairly scathing reviews written by some apparent hospitality experts . However my partner and I enjoyed the food although I do agree the service was a little lack lustre and sloppy. The restaurant seems to cater to wide audience, a smart move I would assume from a beach side establishment that needs to cater for locals, tourists and young families. Our food was simple, unpretentious and interesting. I had a beautifully cooked rare steak with a green peppercorn jus, my wife enjoyed her cinnamon grilled quail with cauliflower and pistachio cous cous and our daughter loved her kids pasta- I had to stop myself from eating hers too! The wine list is small and unfussy and the decor pleasing and inviting- if perhaps a little stark. Definitely give this place a go if you are in town. A great investment in a town with very little other good dining options it seems

Great for Albany!. Went here on a night in Winter so it was quiet but got a nice table near the fire. Ordered arancini to share to start which was great, cheesy and nice and crispy. Then ordered fish and chips and a steak. The fish was lovely and moist with a crispy batter and a nice tartare/mayo. My steak was perfect, one bite in I knew it was great. I asked for medium and it was medium. Served with shoestring fries and rocket. I had the pepper jus which was good.
So all good but as we ate some more of our chips we realised that both portions were very very salty. I do like salty chips but we both commented at the same time that they were too salty. In fact overpowering the steak and the fish. I couldn't finish them and had 2 glassed of water. Such a shame as my steak was the best I have had for ages. I think next time I would just ask for no salt and add my own. Think it may have just been an oversight as the kitchen was quiet and they probably cooked one portion at a time instead of a big batch of fries.

We then shared a dessert the ice cream bars - they were too die for and a huge portion 4 bars. Definately one to share!!! Tasted like a Bounty and had a salted caramel dipping sauce, yum!!

Only other thing that I realied afterwards was we were not offered a wine or cocktail list.

Overall this was a great place with a great menu, better than the usual boring Albany fare of boring Italian or overpriced Surf n Turf. Cant wait to go back in the Summer and enjoy the beach side setting. Hope Albany gets behind this fab venue

Love it. My boyfriend and I have just returned from a 3 night stay in Middleton Beach. We ate 2 dinners and a breakfast at the Three Anchors. It wasn't very busy at all - being midweek and the week before school holidays in WA, which meant that the kitchen was closing very early (8ish, depending on how many people were about).
The first night we had the special Braised Oxtail with Polenta and the Roasted Lamb, both meals were extremely tasty, my only gripe is that there are no greens as a side available as an extra order - I'm a big greens girl!
The second night's meal was Duck Ragu and a Freekah and Quinoa Salad. The Ragu was beautifully cooked and the Quinoa salad perfectly balanced, but massive, I only managed to eat half the serve.
The breakfast we had was awesome, my BF loved the waffles with banana's and scoffed them before I had a chance to pinch any. My Boho Breakfast bowl was so incredibly tasty and filling! The coffees were good, not fabulous, but good. The staff were all really good on the whole. But as I say, there were some nights when we were just there with the staff at the end, so they were attentive without being annoying.
We love the Three Anchors and wish they'd bring back the Coconut Braised Beef Ribs (we had them in January and the friends we went with still rave about them!).

Impressed to the Max. Give them a go!. This was my first time to Three Anchors, I just had the duck ragu and it was to die for!! Paired with a glass of their Pemberton Pinot couldn't ask for anything more perfect. Service was delightful. Not sure what had happened for previous reviews to be so bad but I would recommend giving them a go.

Happy Happy Happy. Loved the vibe of this new restaurant in Albany. To sit at a window and watch the waves roll in on a still, wam evening made it all the more enjoyable. Pub grub with a difference, which matches in nicely with the whole ambience. I had the Fish & Chips, and my partner had the chicken dish, helped down, with a couple of Matso's Ginger Beers, and both were yummy and satisfying, we then shared a chocolate dessert called "The Bounty" which was to die for, as a chocoholic I was in heaven. Thanks to the Three Anchors crew - thought the staff shirts were a cool touch - we will be back.

We got there around 5:30. The service was good. We got the mozzarella and chilli with toast, really good when you soak the toast.. My wife got the spaghetti with yabbie and chilli (it was too hot for me but my wife loved it), serving size was good for one. I got the pork belly, which was really good, but it's not really a mains, about 1.5 x 15cm, with some dressing, most probably best cut up and shared. Had a Bounty (rich chocolate mud cake slice with coconut ice cream and an awesome chocolate sauce) for dessert. very good. If I hadn't already stuffed myself during the day, I might have gone another one.. I think the menu is a little limited and more for a group of people to order a plate of everything to share around, then a traditional one. Overall, we were quite happy with the service and the food.

Fantastic!!. I often head south for work purposes and stay in the peaceful, ocean hugged town of Albany. I have become accustomed to the usual 'steak and chips' scene the town has to offer and never really expected much more. Some local friends took me to a new place that had recently opened up on the beach front. I must say I was blown away with the experience. I could tell each dish had been crafted meticulously with every bite changing and evolving. Each flavour had it's depth, space and intensity, yet sat perfectly within the dish. The Pea-lafels (is that right??) were incredible and a perfect example of this. The shared menu was brilliant, I wasn't stuck with just one dish I was able to indulge (and indulge I did) in a world of taste. Lets not forget the booze... I happily guzzled on the recommended wine and beer to a state of nirvana. I don't usually do these types of reviews, however I felt compelled to share my amazing experience. Well done Albany. Well done Three Anchors. I look forward to my next trip.

Finally!. I had my first dining experience at Three Anchors a couple of nights ago and was really impressed with the place. Their shared menu and fab drinks list is a much needed and refreshing change for Albany. Thank god there is finally something on offer rather than the standard and very boring meat, vege and chips offered at so many other places in town. When we were seated the waitress explained the shared meal concept in an approachable manner and encouraged the 6 of us to settle in and enjoy a variety of smaller yet absolutely delicious and turns out substantial dishes. My wife and I adored the beef ribs and love how the kitchen serves it off the bone for ease of eating and the salad on top with crispy shallots was to die for. Even the dessert menu is shared, though I could have easily eaten the lemon meringue pie dish all to myself. You can see a lot of care and technique has been put into the food and for what it is the prices to me seem very affordable. Overall as a dining experience, my group of friends were really impressed. We had heard a few negative reviews before coming so we really tried to enter with an open mind but were happy to say we were thoroughly convinced by the Three Anchors experience. I really hope Albany embraces this place, it is just the change that this town needs.

Good sophisticated vibe at Three Anchors and is perfect for groups of friends looking to share some of the best meals in Albany if not the state! Menu is designed to mix and match a few different items for your table so be prepared for that when you order. Good selection of drinks Aswell, some very nice beers and a solid wine list. Good food, good drinks, good staff, excellent time!

Winning. It's a given that anything at this location would work, but it doesn't hurt that this place is one of the best, if not the best venue in Albany.
From what it was to what it is now, This place has become the new place to eat, drink and chill.
The staff sat us down, suggested we get lots of stuff to share and left us to ponder the menu. Two of us got the pea-lafels, poppers and 6 natural oysters to start and got a great recommendation on wines and beer to match the food. I had the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and My partner had a Great local sparkling wine.
The oysters were amazingly fresh, the poppers were quite spicy but REALLY tasty and the pea-lafels just exploded with flavour.
Once we were done, we decided to try the ribs and mussels. We struggled to get through all of the food because there was so much between two of us ( would have easily been enough to share between 3/4) but it was all so good we couldn't stop eating it. We even got some fries to dip in the mussel sauce once we had finished them.
Missed out on dessert this time because we were so full, but we'll be back.
Absolutely fantastic - can't wait to try the cocktails!
Cheers guys!

After eating an appalling fish and chips dinner elsewhere the night before, it was a welcome treat to find 3 Anchors. Situated on the beach with a massive playground out front, the food and service were brilliant. The kids meals were tasty, well presented and well priced. The ability to turn anything, including fire engines, fanta and sprite, into a spider was enthusiastically welcomed. The steak sandwich was excellent. The crisp chips had a hint of rosemary, the meat was perfectly cooked accompanied by a delicious relish. The range of beers and ciders on tap complimented the meal well.

A lovely beach cafe right next to the boardwalk and opposite a large kids playground. Ordering is simple as you can do it right through your phone and service time was reasonable, given how busy they were. We ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of hash browns (highly recommended!) and also the waffles. Nice food and good coffee - pairs well just after a walk along the boardwalk and up to the lookout.

We had breakfast twice and dinner once and everything was delicious! The waffles are 10/10! Crispy on the outside and soft & delicious on the inside. 10 of us went for dinner last night and everyone loved their meal and not a scrap was left. Gnocci, pasta, lamb, fish and chips- all fantastic. Nice deserts and great service by lovely, helpful staff on every visit. Well done to the team at three anchors. Thankyou!
