Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Cairns

"When it comes to the most beautiful restaurants in Fremantle, Bread in Common certainly will take the cake. High ceilings, glowing single-strung light globes, wheat husks adorning the tables and an open kitchen that shows the chefs at work like a beautifully choreographed dance. The food is designed to share, and we recommend you start your meal with their wood-fired organic bread and a selection of their dips and spreads such as the sweet garlic butter with fennel salt or white bean with rosemary and saltbush."

"Bread In Common has become one of the most reliable dining experiences in Freo – always quality, always cosy. We’ll never go past the lamb ribs, but the seasonal menu is also host to plenty of winners. That’s without delving into the now-ubiquitous namesake bread, that seemingly revolutionised the city’s collective palate and forced countless restaurants and bakeries to up their bread game."

"Fremantle is peppered with artistic conversions of heritage buildings, but few are as stylish as the uber-cool Moores Building, now home to a cutting-edge contemporary art gallery plus one of the neighbourhoods best brunch spots. Moore & Moore plates up a fresh and seasonal all-day breakfast in the gallery’s shady courtyard, with a particular focus on sustainability — produce is sourced locally and ethically, and there are stacks of gluten-free and veggie options."

"Moore & Moore is a must if you’re looking for the quintessential Freo brunch and dining experience. Super cute, trendy but equally as effortless, this café has a healthy, seasonal brunch and lunch menu. Coffee is also a drawing card here, brewing their very own blend of Karvan Coffee."

"Housed in a heritage building this breakfast spot just screams Fremantle. Moore & Moore provides feel good food everyday of the week along with artisan coffee and specials inspired by wholesome cuisines from all over the world. See alsoSo Perth Guide: Best Eats & Drinks In Fremantle"

"Nestled in a beautiful heritage building in Fremantle, Young George on George Street is a unique neighbourhood bar with a serious focus on food. Purveyors of craft wine, beer, cider and spirits, grab a table at the bar and settle in with friends for an after-work catch up as a buzz of lively conversation surrounds you and peruse a globally inspired menu of share plates. Rusticity abounds with stone walls with brick feature archways, polished concrete and black table settings, while the downstairs cellar is an ideal area for private parties and group bookings."

"Relive your youth at the Young George, a two floor unique bar and bottle shop located in East Fremantle. Although their wood fire is an integral part of their cooking, their bar focused, globally inspired dishes are all produced using seasonal and local food. If ‘You’ve Been Tangoed’ or you’re ‘Just Peachy’, you can’t help but enjoy their cocktails all night long."

"Duck Duck Bruce is another worthy corner of Freo that features courtyard dining, healthy all-day brunches and a dog-friendly garden. The café is known for its punny sense of humour, with dish titles ranging from “Aber Jean is not my lover” to “Beauty and the Beet”. Started by three friends over a bottle of tequila, this quirky café’s ethos is much more than just quality ingredients; encouraging the sharing not only of meals, but of good conversation."

"A quirky little cafe in Freo, Duck Duck Bruce serves up the classics along with some of their own delicious and different concoctions. The Rhubarbra Streisand featuring stewed rhubarb, strawberries, maple granola and coconut whip is a standout and with a name like that it’s not surprising."

"One of the best cafes in Fremantle, and it’s also dog-friendly. We love the menu, especially with inclusions such as ‘beans beans good for the heart’, ‘it’s not easy being green’, ‘we’re going to need a bigger boat’, all Australian brunch dishes with a twist. Kermit would be proud."

"If you ever need to convince someone why Perth is great (or uh, OK!), just take them to il Lido. Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse. Each pasta dish is a loving ode to its produce, whether it’s spaghetti with nduja, white anchovy, mascarpone and lemons, crowd-pleasing blue swimmer crab linguine, or cavatelli with broccoli and sausage."

"The Grumpy Sailor’s Barista’s make an amazing cup of coffee. If you’re looking for a quick bite their bagels make the walk off the cafe strip worth the effort. You’ll find the Grumpy Sailor 5 minutes walk away."

"For a great place to eat for breakfast or lunch, May Street Larder is a great option. Their menu changes often thanks to their use of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Seasonal foods are used for a number of dishes including salads, raw treats, rustic pastries and even, High Tea."

"Indulge without feeling guilty by digging into the colourful and healthy Acai bowls, packed with antioxidants and vitamins. The Ohana Acai Bar serves you bowls flowing with raw goodness are gluten-free, dairy-free as well as sugar-free and vegan. Certified organic barista made coffee or kombucha complements your meal."

"There’s something really special about having a slice of cake with coffee when out with friends. It may seem impossible when looking after your health, but you can still get away with a sneaky treat at Twig And Sparrow. They have delicious, exciting breakfasts such as smashed avocado and pomegranate on toast, but they also bake fresh cakes and treats such as dark chocolate and berry tarts with chantilly cream."

"Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, Perth Region, Western Australia MorningCruise down the Swan River to the charming port of Fremantle, its streets filled with stories of convicts, maritime heroes, murderous mutineers and pioneers. Taste the past on a tour of Fremantle Prison, the state's first jail and largest convict built structure, and check out Western Australian Maritime Museum, overlooking the Indian Ocean, which features the winning America's Cup yacht, Australia II, an Oberon class submarine and the 17th century Dutch Batavia shipwreck."

"Even if you’re not, Little Creatures beer has made a name for itself over the years not only in WA but all over Australia. Pop in to try the famous Little Creatures Pale-Ale accompanied by one of their amazing wood-fired pizzas."

"Try everything on tap – particularly the Pale Ale and Rogers. The floor's chaotic and fun, and the wood-fired pizzas ($20 to $24) are worth the wait. Shared plates ($8 to $27) include kangaroo with tomato chutney..."

"Leighton Beach is adjacent to Port Beach and shares many of the same beach characteristics. While swimming and snorkelling are favourite activities here, the waves aren’t as defined as along Port Beach. The northern section of the beach is considered Leighton Dog Beach, with a specified dog exercise area."

"Perth's safest swimming beach, Cottesloe has cafes, pubs, pine trees and fantastic sunsets. From Cottesloe train station (on the Fremantle line) it's 1km to the beach; there's a free shuttle that runs between the... Historic Building in Fremantle"

"While Perth has an endless coastline of picturesque beaches, Cottesloe Beach, happens to be a favorite for travelers and locals, alike. Cottesloe has an ocean way for pedestrians and cyclists, and cute cafes and restaurants right on the water."

"CORE Cider House offers great food and even better cider (if you’re British, you’ll know that good cider is hard to find in Australia!). You can get tasting platters with a few different flavors, then grab a pint of whichever you like best while watching the sun bounce off the green hills. Of course, don’t drink above your limits if you’re the designated driver."

"Walking for ten minutes as the Freo Doctor’s salty mistral mingles past the century old terraced homes, restored warehouses and urban apartments of Fremantle’s West End, you will arrive in a otherwise unassuming street a block back from the Cappuccino Strip. It’s here that Strange Company effortlessly weaves good design, great service and, of course, glorious beer into a modern yet mid-century influenced space that was once a wetsuit factory. The local focus on the eight venue owned taps may not stray into the esoteric ends of craft beer, however there is enough on offer to keep the crawler happy."

"Open for just over a year, Strange Company has already made its mark on historic Fremantle as a uniquely modern venue with a refined and open aesthetic. Their Spanish-inspired tapas menu, featuring Jerusalem artichokes, duck and pork rillettes and mushroom croquettes, are perfect for a table for two. With their wide variety of local beers and wine, you won’t be strangers for long!"
