11 Best Restaurants in Western Australia, Australia

Since 1948, the bakers at the Augusta Bakery have been seducing unsuspecting visitors with its sweetness in the way of tasty breads, cakes, cookies, pastries, pies, and sausage rolls. You can grab a premade sandwich and treat to go, or sit in the café's modest dining room with lovely views of the Blackwood River and daily lunch specials.

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.

After a day at the beach, stop at the Eagle Bay Brewing Co. to grab a six-beer tasting flight so you can sample the company's many craft creations, then have a ball seeing which ones best complement your lunch. The food is pure gastropub in a casual yet upscale setting with an alfresco dining area that overlooks rolling, green pastures that stretch towards the sea.

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.

To call someone a “good egg” is a high compliment in Australia and it's a fitting name for this busy, modern café that opened its doors in 2018. With amazing coffee, a delicious, healthy menu, a kids' play area, and gift shop all housed in a two-story, modern, industrial-style setting, this is the place to be for Sunday morning brunch.

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.

No visit to Fremantle is complete without a stop at this locally famous fish-and-chippery that was once featured on a postage stamp. Housed in a boathouse-style building fronting Fremantle's lovely Fishing Boat Harbour, this joint serves the real thing: fresh oysters, mussels, crabs, fish, lobsters, and crispy chips. No wonder they're experts—they've been doing it since 1903. 

This Fremantle restaurant looks like everyone's vision of a run-down, weather-beaten Maine diner. With uninterrupted harbor views, authentic nautical bric-a-brac, and great food, you can't go wrong. Recommendations include the salt-and-pepper squid, stuffed tiger prawns, and chili mussels. An outdoor section with umbrella-covered tables serves "Joe's to Go" takeaway food from a smaller, fish-and-chip-style menu.

A large, open space, exposed brick, timber beams, high ceilings, and funky booth seating give way to a warehouse feel at this plant-based, dairy-free, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, vegetarian, and vegan eatery. If you commonly say yes to meals like pumpkin mash, ramen noodles, and coconut curry and no to bottled water, plastic straws, and excess waste, then you'll surely love this bohemian-vibe restaurant.
