Heading to Subi to Swan on Sunday 11 October? Refuel with a delicious brunch in Subiaco afterwards. We’ve got an amazing collection of cafes and eateries to choose from, including al fresco spots perfect for catching the action of the parade at 10am. Here are our top picks…
Nook & Co.
In the world’s most perfect timing, Nook & Co. have their grand opening this weekend! Get in early and take advantage of their opening weekend specials. If you order a Fiery Udon or Nook Special signature focaccia, you can score a FREE Blueberry Iced Latte or Blueberry Iced Matcha. Plus, the first 50 customers each day will score a $10 voucher to use on their next visit.
Larry’s Charcoal Chicken
Feel like something more substantial? Also newly opened, Larry’s Charcoal Chicken have al fresco views of Market Square Park and the best Levantine-style chicken in Perth. Order a half or full charcoal chicken with toum, house pickles and charred lemon, and whatever you do, DON’T skimp on the sides.
Al Canto
Recently opened all-day dining spot Al Canto is another must-visit. Inspired by the traditions of Venice, it’s the perfect spot to slow down with a good coffee and Italian-inspired breakfast favourites – or stay on for lunch and order a few carafes for the table.
1982 Food & Coffee
Start your morning off right at 1982 Food & Coffee, a cosy café with a diverse menu featuring fun twists on classic brunch dishes. Think open bagels (one side sweet one side savoury), kimchi fried rice and chill crab scram. Sip on a perfectly brewed cup of coffee as you watch the cars drive by.
Architects and Heroes
Another streetside spot, Architects and Heroes serve up thoughtful brunch fare, cakes and artisan coffee. Indulge in their signature smashed avocado on toast or sink your teeth into a breakfast burger – the perfect fuel for a day of adrenaline-fueled excitement.
Bagel O’s
Who can resist Perth’s cult favourite purveyor of baked goods? Satisfy your cravings with freshly made loaded bagels smothered in cream cheese, with customisable options or fan-favourite flavours such as PB&J, Parm, BLT and Lox. After something sweet? Their glazed donuts, homemade cookies and strawberry matcha lattes are seriously to die for.
Bark
Known as Subiaco’s shrine to Australiana, this small bar and cafe also packs a mean punch when it comes to all-day dining. Grab a classic Aussie toasted sando (that’ll only set you back about $10) with a side of chicken-shaker chips, onion rings, or something more substantial. Pair it with a great coffee in the morning – or a beer if it’s closer to lunchtime, but who are we to police that?
Mimosa
Elevate your breakfast game at Mimosa, a chic café known for its elegant ambiance. Treat yourself to French-inspired breakfast favourites, a glass of bubbly or even one of their famous bottomless packages as you bask in the light-filled interior. The food tastes as good as it looks, we promise.
Cafe Cafe
With its charming courtyard and laid-back vibe, Cafe Cafe is the perfect spot to unwind after a thrilling day at Subi to Swan. Their menu features an array of breakfast options, from hearty omelettes to mouthwatering pastries. For specialty coffee lovers, don’t miss their pistachio and coffee crema lattes, or their deliciously sweet strawberry matcha!
Dome Subiaco
Located in a beautifully renovated building on the corner of Rokeby Rd and Seddon St, Dome Subiaco is the perfect place to enjoy cozy interior comfort or grab some sunshine al fresco with a front row seat to the parade passing by. The refreshed menu combines Dome classics you know and love with new seasonal flavours.
Bar Amelie
Round out your brunch adventure with a visit to Bar Amelie, where European charm meets Australian cuisine. This cosy bar offers a menu inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean. Take a seat in their sun-soaked al fresco courtyard and indulge in their share-style small plates and grazing boards.
Storehouse Subiaco
Prefer your views sky-high? Take a seat at Vibe Hotel‘s rooftop restaurant Storehouse and you might be able to see (and hear!) the cars from above! They’re open from 7am with elevated classics like truffled mushrooms on sourdough, salmon-roe topped eggs benedict, crispy chicken waffles and a classic full breakfast.
Book your spot now and catch all the action.
