7 Best Restaurants in Western Australia, Australia

It began as a food truck in 2015 with a cultlike following but now Burger Bones has a permanent diner in central Busselton. If hamburgers are your desire, this burger joint will certainly over-deliver. Their small dedicated team work together four days a week and it's worth planning your entire trip around their opening hours.

Locally famous for freshly made pastries and decent coffee, this central bakery does a roaring trade every day of the week. It may be the tasty treats that get people through the door, but it's the cute little quokkas on the deck who encourage patrons to stay awhile.

Quokkas are extremely friendly, but it is a fineable offense to feed them.

It started as a hole-in-the-wall toasted sandwich cave tucked away in Grand Lane with cultlike status. Although the original location belongs to another business, Toastface is still grillin' daily and has grown to include five locations (and counting) around Perth, Fremantle, and Margaret River. Pop in for a sandwich on the go and a takeaway coffee from Micrology Coffee Roasters. 

Tucked away in Globe Lane is this casual eatery serving delicious Chinese fare in a modern communal dining setting. On provided iPads, scroll through the menu, order, pay at the counter and wait for your lunch to be served. This place is perfect when you don't have a lot of time or just want a quick bite to keep you going as you explore Perth's downtown.

When you visit a sleepy seaside village like Augusta, you'd expect a decent feed of fresh, local fish and seafood, and that's exactly what you'll get at Blue Ocean Fish and Chips. The small haunt serves dhufish, bronze whaler, and yellowfin whiting, and is decorated in a nautical theme, complete with fish decals and mini seagulls, deck chairs, shells, and sand. Expect long lines and wait times during peak season.

You'll recognize this place by its giant, multicolor zebra mural on the external wall, which was commissioned by a local artist. Inside, take a seat at one of the colorful communal tables that are surrounded by dividers made from plumbing pipes and then enjoy classic and healthy café eats like Bircher muesli, free-range eggs, burgers, or Ootong & Lincoln's ever-popular coffee-and-cake special.

Simmos has been delighting locals and visitors since 1993 when a father and son teamed up to put their Irish ice-cream recipe to the test. Some people thought they'd gone mad, but now this ice creamery and fun park is a popular excursion for families and sweet tooths. They have so many flavors of ice cream and sorbet that you'll have a difficult time choosing. Past flavors include apple pie, mascarpone with fig, mango macadamia, and gingernut biscuit. They also serve vegan ice cream. There's coffee to go, and—for the kids—a great playground, with games including an 18-hole minigolf course. Bring a blanket to have a picnic in the shady grounds.
