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

The Prophet

The banquet caters well to vegetarians and has to be one of the best value in Perth

I start dribbling when I even think about the banquet at The Prophet. Bring a gang and don't eat for a week beforehand. The salad has fried bread, the bread has some sort of addictive drug in, the dips are to die for and the felafel are eye-opening. It's yawnfully boring inside, parking is a hassle and the toilets are dodgy, but it is so very very worth it. Book well in advance or order takeaway.

Boubar Cafe


They really seem to like eggs here, and most of the breakfast dishes have them in one form or another. As such, Boubar is very vegetarian friendly. It's small and perfectly located for hospital and university staff and students, but it's cute and friendly enough for kids, while not being exactly kid-friendly.

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:

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.

Price range: $$

Must try: fish and chips

Wembley Dim Sum


Yes, it's in a food court, but that's no reason to dismiss it. With most dishes freshly prepared while you wait, it means that the food is probably fresher than in normal dim sum restaurants. The surroundings aren't classy, but the food is quick and tasty and you can get your yum cha fix any day of the week.

Must try: salt and pepper squid

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...

The Village Bar


We have had some hits and misses here over the years but the thing is, we keep going back because it's so good for groups. The food ranges from good to ordinary (desserts don't even rate a mention though) but they are very accommodating for large groups, and it's the type of place where everyone can find a dish to satisfy,and the prices are cheaper than most other places in Subi.

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).

Sayers Fine Food


Eat here. Be happy.
Breakfast and lunch are both top notch, but Sayers is also one of those rare places in Perth where you can go for a proper afternoon tea, with generous serves of home made cake and slice, with plenty of gluten-free options.

The Wembley Hotel


There's good and there's not so good, but it's important to remember it's a pub. The serves are generous, but the food can be a little bland. Service was a no-show the time we visited, but management seemed genuinely concerned about improving it. The polenta chips with cheese dipping sauce were a deliciously, naughty, albeit calorie laden highlight to the night.

Juanita's Wine and Tapas


You don't go to Juanita's for a meal, but you will be fed if you go there. Order your wines by the glass, squeeze your way past the assortment of artwork, and pot plants, tables and old chairs, and if you're lucky you will find somewhere to sit. If you're lucky.

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.
