Breakfast, Brunch & Lunch

White Elephant Cafe
With stellar views, excellent coffee, and brunch options to die for, White Elephant Cafe is a must if you’re in the Margaret River area. Whether you’re visiting in winter and need a cozy inside table in their recently expanded space, or visiting in summer and want to enjoy the warm breeze on their chilled out deck, you’ll walk away feeling blissful no matter what. Our recommendation? Get the Smashed Pumpkin breakfast and add bacon – the greatest combo ever.

Wyl and Co
A must visit in Margaret River town for the most outstanding brunch is the delectable Wyl & Co.

Fishbone Wines
Nestled in the middle of the Margaret River region, Fishbone delivers Japanese feasting classics (with a touch of Korean flair) that’ll have you happy dancing in your chair. Their sushi? Perfection. Their karaage chicken? The crispiest ever. Bulgogi fries? Genius. We could go on, but we recommend trying to snaffle a booking as quickly as possible for your next trip down south instead. Plus they also do takeaway!

Glenarty Road
There is something magical about Glenarty Road. At first their seasonally influenced menu may appear simple and humble, but do not let this fool you into thinking it is anything but extraordinary.
