9 of Perth's best breakfast and brunch spots
Being active, outdoorsy people, Perth residents are big fans of breakfast. They love it overlooking the ocean, in hidden backyard café gardens, in heritage buildings and on neighbourhood corners.
By Fleur Bainger
Breakfast in Perth is an event. Eggs are taken seriously, bacon is never far away and the acai bowl trend is thriving. Friends come together wearing beach clothes and leading their dogs, or dressed up in heels and designer threads, depending on the destination. Many Perth venues serve breakfast well into the afternoon. Here's our list of the best.
Bib & Tucker
We are OPEN today from 8am - late! Come past for breakfast, lunch or dinner....or all three! We're also open tomorrow (Sunday)!☀️ #bibandtucker #boxingdayperth #summer #northfremantle
26 Dec
Where: 18 Leighton Beach Blvd, North Fremantle
Sitting above the Fremantle Surf Lifesaving Club, Bib & Tucker is a casual restaurant with fantastic ocean views. Named after a pair of bushrangers, it’s part owned by former Olympic swimming gold medallist, Eamon Sullivan. With 12 breakfast options – including a breakfast pizza – there are plenty of ways to improve your morning. The banana pancakes, with salted caramel sauce, double cream and pecans, are particularly good.
Sayers Sister
What’s your all time favourite? Mine is the potato rosti 🤤
18 Feb
Where: 236 Lake St, Perth
Vintage light fittings, masses of framed pictures and a huge communal table made of distressed brick fill the eclectic interiors of this ever popular café near leafy Hyde Park. The leek croquettes and poached eggs sitting in warm, leek-infused cream never come off the menu at Sayers Sister – for good reason.
Post
From a comforting bowl of creamy porridge to our light as a feather eggs and bacon – Post’s menu is filled with simple and timeless breakfast classics. Hit the ground running with a pastry and an espresso, or linger a little longer over the morning paper. * Open for breakfast every day from 6.30am. Bookings via link in bio.
29 Oct
Where: 1 Cathedral Ave, Perth
Whether or not you're staying at COMO The Treasury, you're welcome to slide into a seat in Post’s peaceful white surrounds and order its five-star food. Clean-eaters will enjoy the house baked granola and their muscle milk smoothie made from banana, coconut, cinnamon and almond milk. Post's fresh vegetable juices are also worth ordering.
Moore & Moore
In honour of #internationalpancake day we are serving them layered with fresh figs all day! Just delicious 😋 🤤
16 Feb
Where: 46 Henry St, Fremantle
In keeping with the wholefood loving vibe of Fremantle, all the bacon served at Moore & Moore is nitrate free. There are vegan options, such as their moore mushrooms served with salsa verde, baby kale, almond feta, and toasted gluten free toast. Or go for the organic, free range eggs paired either with sage pumpkin mash and walnuts, or avocado, peas and haloumi. Make yourself at home in the sunny backyard garden, or in a well worn antique armchair in the heritage listed Moore's Building, which also has a contemporary art gallery.
Uncle Joe's Mess
Did someone say T R U F F L E M A Y O? Start your day right with our Breakfast on Brioche 🙌🏻
10 Feb
Where: 74-76 King St, Perth
Tucked behind a hipster barber shop, Uncle Joe's Mess is an atmospheric urban café in the heart of the city, on one of Perth’s most fashionable streets. The acai bowl is nearly as good as the thick, hand-cut and smoked bacon (the chef dry cures it using juniper berries, fennel salt and cumin). It comes with poached eggs and creamy dill bearnaise sauce.
The Shorehouse
Start the day differently... Roast mushroom, chargrilled sourdough, herbed ricotta, broccolini, avo & toasted seeds perfected paired with one of our famous Bloody Mary’s! 😋
16 Jan
Where: 278 Marine Parade, Swanbourne
Views, attractive clientele and tasty food greet you at The Shorehouse in Swanbourne. The Indian Ocean looks its best before 11am, so arrive early and get a seat beneath a yellow umbrella on the deck. If you want simple, try the eggs your way served with chargrill sourdough. Alternatively, go for the wood roast mushroom, chargrilled sourdough, herbed ricotta, broccolini, avocado and toasted seeds.
Tuck Shop Café
Where: 1/180 Newcastle St, Perth
It’s busy, noisy and there's often a queue at Tuck Shop in Northbridge, but all of this is worth dealing with to get a taste of the bacon bruschetta, which layers fresh tomatoes, goats cheese, avocado chunks and basil leaves on sourdough. The salmon version comes a close second, but honestly, whatever you order will shine.
Pinchos
Buenos días ☀️ Come by our Spanish corner for breakfast. Add delicioso sides to your $10 eggs and toasted buttered baguette. Open from 8.30am on weekends. Full bar available. #pinchosperth
30 Jan
Where: 112-124 Oxford St, Leederville
Hearty breakfasts may not be strictly authentic, but this tapas bar in Leederville keeps its food as Spanish as possible. The British chef-owner of Pinchos uses his holidays in Spain as inspiration and serves up value dishes such as torrijas - a Spanish style french toast served with saffron poached pears and honey (as good as it sounds) and a filling bowl of baked beans, black sausage and chorizo. There's coffee, or there’s sangria on tap.
Toast
As the weather warms up for a sunny weekend☀️ Refresh yourself with our Avocado, Pea and Mint Smash 🥑💥 Served with a pomegranate salsa, Danish feta and reduced balsamic on French peasant toast😋 #avocadosmash #peaandmintsmash #pomegranatesalsa #refreshing #breakfast #brunch #toasteastperth #eastperth #eastperthcommunity #eatdrinkperth #perthisok #pertheats #thingstodoperth #perthbreakfast #perthlunch #perthfoodlover #perthfood #perthcafe
18 Feb
Where: 21/60 Royal St, Perth
In East Perth, Toast serves up numerous styles of bread, toasted, and much more. Choose a topping, or opt for something more substantial such as the avocado, pea and mint smash, or pork belly with pickled cabbage, orange crackle dust, herbs, sliced chilli on sourdough. The menu also features toasties, breakfast bowls and both savoury and sweet crepes.
