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.

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.

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.

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.

Matilda Bay Restaurant

Matilda Bay is a counterpoint to the claim that you can't have a good view and good food. It's expensive and very posh, but the food is top quality and thoughtful and makes you want to lick the plates (but you can't, because it's too posh). Lunch specials are still top quality but more affordable. and if you're lucky, you might see a dolphin.

Wild Fig Cafe

It's quirky.
The food is quirky, the decor is quirky, and yes, some of the staff are a bit strange too.

High tea @ C Restaurant

It's a gimmick but it works, and the view from the restaurant on the 33rd  floor is definitely unique in Perth. Service often lets down C Restaurant, even though the food is consistently good (albeit expensive). The High Tea is very nice but I wouldn't go in a large group and I wouldn't bother bringing the kids.

Address: Level 33, 44 St George's Terrace, Perth

Walter's River Cafe

Walter's is an unpretentious cafe with nice food to take the family out. If you sit in the undercover outdoor area you can watch the kids play on the nearby equipment. If you don't have kids, you can sit and enjoy the view of the river.

Soda Sunlounge

Soda Sunlounge made it into the Perth Good Food Guide, so it must be possible to have great food and great views. There are dishes to tempt all sorts from little share plates to pizzas and more substantial meals. A perfect place to watch the sun set while eating and drinking with friends.
