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.

Cuisine: Cafe/Italian

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.

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.

Satsuki

You need to eat here simply to stare at the very beautiful food. It tastes glorious too, but it is a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. The location may not be overly inspiring (it sits on top of the Subiaco train station) but the food does its best to distract from the comings and goings outside.

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.

Metro Indian

If you are looking to feed a crowd of hungry people then look no further than the banquets (there are three) at Metro. Although not advertised, we were told the banquets were bottomless and we could order more curries if we finished. Sounds great, except the quantities dished up initially are generous anyway. It's fun, they serve cocktails, there's bling on the walls, the food is fine and there is plenty of it.

Moss Black Cafe

A tiny little cafe in the 'burbs that punches above its weight with own-made breads, mayonnaises and jams. Pop in for breakfast, grab some gourmet rolls to takeaway or sneak in some slice at morning tea. Popular take away coffee and plenty of reading material to peruse while you wait.

Six Senses

Six Senses is a bolt hole at the lower end of Rokeby, so small you can easily walk past it. Once you're in, the smells and sight just hit you, and even if you have to wait for your food, it's ok - anticipation aids digestion, right? It's a tad pricey but the food is oh so pretty and full of flavour (except the spring rolls for some reason). It's BYO so don't make the same mistake I did! Really interesting food.

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.

Lanna Thai

When we visited in 2012 (for takeaway) we had prompt service and well flavoured food. The range of Thai salads makes a nice departure from the heavy, coconut curries, perfect for a hot summer day.

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.
