Breakfast @ Ti Amo

You won't be blown away but it's pleasant enough. The breakfast menu is pretty standard but has some of the biggest pancakes I have ever seen. Later in the day the menu gives way to pasta and other Italian styled dishes. Convenient.

Address: 57 Hampden Rd, Nedlands

Cuisine: Cafe/Italian

Price range: $$

Must try: huge pancakes

Breakfast @ Little Pantry

It's tiny, and during the week the breakfast menu is limited to whatever is in the case, but the things in the case are delicious and on weekend the full menu is worth the wait. Service is helpful and friendly, the cakes and muffins are inspired and lunches are great to eat there or grab as a quick takeaway.

Breakfast @ Domain on Loch

A cute little cafe that takes you back to Grandma's house with its decor, but stays current with its interesting and seasonal menu. Big fresh flavours and dishes that you don't see elsewhere, this is a pleasant way to start the day. There's no view to speak of, but a lovely al fresco area with painted mushrooms that may or may not hide fairies.

Breakfast @ Naked Fig

One of the Fig sisters, the Naked Fig offers a great view of the beach (alas not the nude beach). They offer an interesting stable of breakfast dishes, that despite an overzealous use of pea shoots are both fresh and unusual. Kids are welcome but if they have a decent appetite, skip the kids meals as they are quite petite.

Breakfast @ Globe Coffee House

It's tiny and parking can be tricky, but if you're in the area and want a really fresh breakfast full of flavour rather than fat, then you should pop into this little cafe. Simple but big flavours and generous serves make this small but mighty. Good for vegetarians.

Address: 672 Beaufort St, Mt Lawley

Cuisine: Cafe, breakfast

Price range: $

Must try: trio of crostini (mushroom, tomato and avocado, pictures)

Breakfast @ Leapfrogs

The revamping of the cafe at the Wanneroo Mini Golf is just the cherry on the pie. It means you can have a reasonable meal at the start (or end) of a great game of golf in some of the best gardens in Perth. Fabulous for kids, there is a small but varied menu, with wood-fired pizzas kicking in at lunchtime. Opens rather late for the early birds...

Clancy's Fish Pub

It's a pub. It's a restaurant. It's a cafe. It's good for grown-ups. It's fine for kids. It has fish and nets and buoys and starfish on every available surface. Perfect for those who want a meal at random times of day. Skip dessert and buy icecream on the way home.

Choux Cafe

Only if you are on a serious diet should you stay away from this tiny little box of goodness hidden in the burbs. You can get a sugar coma just by staring into the case crammed with all manner of French delicacies, each more beautiful and intricate than the last. It's like staring into the sun. Plan to arrive early in the day or risk missing out.

Breakfast @ Clancy's Fish Cafe

You'd be forgiven for thinking that there would be a lot of fish on the menu at Clancy's, but at breakfast time (they open at the sensible hour of 7am) there's actually hardly anything fishy at all. With a relaxed, beachy feel, a no-bookings policy, and an outdoor seating area that looks over a playground (and the beach), it is perfect for families and swimmers and everyone in between. The food is quick and tasty and everything is better when you're staring at the ocean.

Cafe Cafe

I remember eating breakfast here in the past and loving it. Recently I have been underwhelmed. Still, the serves are generous and it is popular with large groups of cyclists and families who spill out into the al fresco area. There is plenty of free reading material and the cakes in the cabinet look pretty awesome, so maybe stop by for afternoon tea.

Walk Cafe

Perennially popular, this cafe in Subi has extensive menus (even if there is a bit of confusion about the difference between the breakfast and brunch menu). Still there is a great range of interesting options, but make sure you are there early, as it closes at 3.30pm, so there is no chance for afternoon tea...

Tarts Cafe

A rambling beast in Northbridge, part shop, part cafe, with a lounge room, a board room and an al fresco dining area. The breakfast menu runs until midday (2pm on weekends) but the lunch menu looks even better and the range of cakes on display will please everyone (including those who want GF).

Feast Cafe

You don't have to have kids to be welcome at Feast, but if you do have little ones, then you will be very welcomed indeed. Kids have their very own glass walled playroom, so they can play and you can enjoy breakfast or lunch or just rest your head on the table and snooze. For those who are watching what they eat, there is a huge range of healthy (yummy) options, plus some decadent looking cakes for those who aren't.

Breakfast @ Caffe Vero

The food here is satisfying, a little out of the box (hello Bunny Chow!), and with a great big covered deck out the back set up with couches and a TV so it kinda feels like home. 

Address: 137a Rokeby Rd, Subiaco

Bella Pitsa Mobile Woodfired Pizza

The next time you're planning a big party and you want something a bit different, then the Bella Pitsa guys will come to you, and make all-you-can-eat fresh pizza (plus some starters and desserts). Perfect for big groups with big appetites, they will literally cook for as long as people are eating.

Hobart Street Deli

This is the type of place locals want to keep their own little secret, but the Hobart Street Deli not only has a really interesting menu and good food, it is also directly opposite a gated park that is just perfect for small children.  Winner.

Pancakes @ Carillon

Pancakes as a special treat brings so many great memories back to me as a child growing up in the 80s. Now I bring my own children here, sometimes for breakfast, sometimes for lunch - but always for pancakes. They do sweet and savoury, and breakfast is what you would find elsewhere, except with pancakes instead of toast. Awesome!

Ruby's Restaurant at the Roundhouse

It's surprisingly expensive for a Balcatta pub and the food and service can be a bit hit and miss, but there is a lot to like about Ruby's and if it was my local, I'd probably be quite happy.

The Hyatt Cafe

Of the three separate 'kitchens' at the Cafe, the dessert buffet somehow ends up being everyone's favourite. Waffles made fresh to order anyone?

The buffet at the Hyatt Cafe is enormous but that doesn't mean the quality is compromised. You will certainly pay for the privilege and you should only bother going if you have a decent appetite, but you could easily eat your weight in fresh seafood. Only bring the kids if they are adventurous eaters with hollow legs.

Oishii Japanese

It may be located within a food court, but that doesn't mean you should dismiss this great little Japanese takeaway place. It's consistent, quick and tasty, and the little serves of salad and fruit you get with sets are always appreciated. Dine in at the Food Forum and let the kids run free on the indoor equipment.
