Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Western Australia

"When talking Fremantle food there would be no list without Bread In Common. Prior to its establishment, the Fremantle food scene was about BYO pizza and pasta (not that there is anything wrong with that) but Bread in Common upped the ante when they came along with their menu inspired by locally sourced, seasonal produce based all around—you know it—bread. Their long tables and shared menu make them the perfect spot to break bread with your friends."

"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."

"Housed at the uber-cool heritage Moores Building, Moore & Moore is also home to a cutting-edge contemporary art gallery. This amazing brunch spot serves a fresh and seasonal all-day breakfast in the gallery’s shady courtyard. All their ingredients are sourced locally and ethically, with particular focus on gluten-free and vegetarian options."

"Who doesn’t love a charming neighbourhood bar with a serious focus on food?. This is exactly what you’ll find at Young George, a joint that has a bar where you can settle in to drink great wine, cocktails, craft beery and cider before chomping your way through dish and after dish on the menu. The eclectic variety of food on offer by Head Chef Melissa Palinkas is a combination of bold flavours and global influences, and perfectly at home in the setting of this heritage building in East Freo."

"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."

"The flavours here span the globe – you’ll find everything from Goan pickled eggplant, sticky Sri Lankan beetroot, apple sauerkraut and gruyere bechamel – all used in expert ways to make breakfasts really soar. Check out the spiced sausage burger that comes on a pretzel bun, and the vanilla pancake stack served with burnt orange curd, toasted almonds, orange and rosemary syrup, poppyseed cheesecake and gingerbread crumbs. These are just some of the seriously appetising breakfasts you’ll find here."

"With brilliant names for dishes like “Cereal killer”, “We’re all going on a summer hollandaise” and “I didn’t quit sugar”, brunch at this cheery Collie St café tastes every bit as delicious as it sounds. Duck Duck Bruce is the brainchild of married couple Sean and Charlie and their best mate “Woody”, who’ve used second-hand furniture and first-class hospitality to transform a charming heritage home into one of Fremantle’s most welcoming eateries."

"You might have to wait to get a table at beloved Freo cafe Duck Duck Bruce, but trust us, it’ll be worth it. Started by a trio of mates, the warm spirit of friendship is imbued throughout Duck Duck Bruce. This is a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously… even if the food and coffee is seriously good."

"For many pasta-lovers, a bowl of Il Lido’s gnocchi or blue swimmer crab linguine would be their final meal, so it makes sense to be daydreaming about it during this time of uncertainty. From 4pm each day you can order pasta or risotto and pasta and pick it up from the Cottesloe restaurant’s side door — bellisimo!"

"‘Il Lido’ means beach in Italian, which explains the beach front views of the Il Lido restaurant. What we don’t understand is why it’s not called ‘‘Il Lido: e maledettamente buon cibo!. ’ (Translation, beach: and damn good food!)."

"Cottesloe’s Il Lido is now offering takeaway, so you can delight in some house made pasta or risotto at home. Check out their takeaway menu, call them on 9286 1111, then pick it up via their side door on Forrest Street."

"If you’re missing your mum’s home cooking then you’ll want to pop into this North Beach cafe to satisfy that craving. With homely and wholesome meals not to mention all day brekkie, it will make you feel warm and fuzzy until you’re at her dining table again."

"In the affluent coastal suburb of Swanbourne, the Shorehouse is the place to see and be seen. Try to nab a table under the yellow and white striped umbrellas on the deck for the best views of the beach (and the best people-watching). The food consists of pretty, small and large plates designed to share, with many cooked on the Josper charcoal grill."

"The inviting deck chairs and bright yellow umbrellas are hard to resist at The Shorehouse. With views over Swanbourne Beach, the outdoor deck is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine on a summer’s morning. There are many breakfast options ranging from waffles, spiced eggs and their specialty, the blue swimmer crab omelette."

"With an absolute beach front location in Swanbourne, experience a coastal culinary haven on board The Shorehouse. A palette of neutral beige and emerald green make for a dining arena similar to sand d..."

"Eclectic and communal, anything goes at this Perth brunch spot. Not only does Sayers Sister have some of the best brunches in Perth, but it is also open Friday and Saturday evenings for endless wines and sangrias. Along with the interesting décor, same goes for the menu, like the lime and tequila salmon gravlax as an add on the side to your breakfast."

"Perth food lovers have been breakfasting on chef Mark Sayers' culinary creations ever since he and his wife opened their first venture in 2006. Sumptuous house-baked cakes line the communal dining table, and the food menu is chock full of interesting dishes accompanied by a solid drinks list and excellent coffee."

Choose from an extensive menu of all-day breakfasts, salads, soups, hot kitchen classics to decadent cakes or sweet little treats!"

"The undeniable draw of King Somm might be enough to make us move to Bayswater – that’s what fans we are of this neighbourhood pizzeria, bar and bottleshop. Wine connoisseurs will surely be into their rotating selection of lo-fi drops, while pizza snobs can get into the 72- hour, “pasta riporto” dough and judicious use of toppings. Add in a team stacked with hospo veterans?"

"At King Somm they will be serving up the Masterchef approved pizzas for takeaway, as well as delicious pasta – to give you a break from the packet pasta and Dolmio combination. For $40 you can enjoy a tasty pizza and a paired wine of the day. Explore the full menu kingsomm.com.au."

"Are you one of those who believe bottle shops are one of the essential services?. If yes, then you will be delighted to know that your favourite bottle shop is now delivering. King Somm is a boutique bottle shop."

"You simply cannot visit Perth without taking a trip to Fremantle in the outskirts of the city, where you will find one of Western Australia’s best microbreweries. The building actually used to be a crocodile farm (c’mon, you can’t get more Aussie than that), but today is home to one of the top-rated beer gardens in Australia, with some pretty epic cider and beer options. Food wise, take your pick from tasty woodfired pizza, meat dishes, seafood and veggie options."

"Little Creatures is a famous local brewery in Fremantle than also has one of the best restaurants in town. The brewery offers its own experience of watching the brewing craft, but perhaps the highlight is being able to dine at the establishment. You’ll have a choice of indoor or outdoor dining, both accompanied y a vibrant atmosphere from the staff or guests enjoying the brew."

"With four different locations in Perth (Northbridge, Canning x 2 and Morley), Kung Fu Kitchen is open 7 days a week from lunch to dinner. The dine-in and take away menu includes Sichuan dishes, braised meats and more unusual (by Australian standards) items like pork blood, beef tripe or braised duck giblets. If you dine in, enjoy their hot pot, which is a Chinese cooking method where you have simmering broth in front of you to add in your ingredients and cook yourself before devouring."

"Another hot pick for lovers of spicy Sichuan food, Kung Fu Kitchen packs a serious punch with its mouth-numbing soups, braised offal dishes, and Sichuan-spiked salads and noodles. 2/139 Newcastle St, Northbridge. 1359 Albany Hwy, Cannington"

"To watch the sunset you have the choice of driving a little further up the road from the carpark and watching from your car, however it is definitely worth it to take the 5 minute walk, sit on the platform next to the falls and bath in the golden light. This is always a stunning location to relax, with the waterfall beside you, the city in front of you and the hills surrounding you. While you’re there make sure you check out the many great hiking trails available as well!"

"Lesmurdie Falls offers the visitor stunning views over the Swan Coastal Plain from lookout platforms which are a short walk from the picnic and parking areas on Falls Road. The area is especially popular in Springtime when the falls are flowing and a dazzling array of wildflowers are on display. If you are feeling energetic, stretch your legs on several walk trails of varying degrees of difficulty and length (30mins–2 hrs)."

"At Lesmurdie Falls National Park not only will you discover stunning views over the Swan Coastal Plain from the lookout platforms, in Spring you will be able to enjoy flowing falls and blooming wildflowers. Also, be sure to pack a picnic to truly make a day of it."
