The Mantle is a pop-up foodie haven hidden in a warehouse beside Fremantle’s busy port. Here, small start-up food businesses give bricks and mortar a go for a limited time. Think pop-up gelato, kombucha makers and taqueria, with food often cooked in a sea-container kitchen. A pizzeria and cocktail bar are anchor tenants.
