Harvest Espresso is located along Albany Highway in Victoria Park. It is one of my favourite default places to go to lunch or brunch if I’m stuck for ideas. As the menu is seasonal, there is always something different for me to try. There are also classic breakfast dishes that are always on the menu. I’ve been here at least half a dozen times over the years. I have always enjoyed the food, the coffee and the friendly service.
Solo lunching at Babylon Cafe in Leederville
Babylon Cafe is tucked away behind a rug store in Leederville. You would probably miss it if you weren’t look for it. It has a beautiful and whimsical courtyard to hang out in. The inside of the cafe is small and homely, with it’s retro and hipster styling.
Japanese omakase at Ichirin in Leeming
I’ve only been to a small handful of places for omakase. If you didn’t know omakase translate to Japanese degustation. Ichirin is perhaps the new kid on the block. If I’m not mistaken, it took over the shop that Marumo used to occupy in the southern suburb of Leeming.
Coffee break at Moore and Moore Cafe, Fremantle
Moore and Moore Cafe in Fremantle is one of those places that have been around for a while. It’s in an unusual spot, down a walk way which opens up to an art gallery and a courtyard. After lunch at Don Tapas at The Mantle then shopping around Fremantle, we ducked into Moore and Moore Cafe for a coffee break in the afternoon. Also to shelter from the pelting rain.
Don Tapas at The Mantle in Fremantle
I heard about The Mantle in Fremantle a little while ago but never got a chance to check it out until recently. This cool little warehouse space houses several different pop up restaurants. Don Tapas is one of them and it looks to be its permanent home! The Mantle is located just a little bit outside of the heart of Fremantle. It is also home to the famous Short Order Burgers (that’s only open on certain days/nights) and a cool bar called Alter Ego, which is right next to Don Tapas.
