"During the day a flood of natural light shines through the restaurant and bakery of this 1898 heritage building where Bread in Common is located.

"With a chef and owner whose culinary career has taken him from the Michelin starred kitchens of Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing in London, to celebrated two-hatted Walters Wine Bar in Melbourne, there’s no denying that Manuka Woodfire Kitchen is in very good hands. Chef Kenny McHardy is doing some pretty phenomenal stuff at the helm; with the woodfire oven celebrated as the hero of the kitchen and their only form of cooking. The staff are all so, so friendly, and you can see how passionate the team are about food, produce and wine when you dine here."

"Playing with fire is a very good thing at Manuka; its chef, Kenny McHardy – who originally hails from New Zealand – has a commitment to working with fire alone. The menu of this award-winning restaurant is strictly created with only WA produce, which means it is ever-changing, and can feature anything from Toodyay Berkshire pork grilled on coals, to wood-roasted and pickled beetroot salad, to wood-roasted Shark Bay tiger prawns. But one thing is certain, the fire-induced flavours are unique and unforgettable."

A craft beer station of the cross, craft beer mecca, the spiritual home of Australian craft beer – call it what you will, you’ll find there’s nothing quite like enjoying a Little Creatures Pale Ale or Hotchkiss Six stout straight from the source. Did we mention the views?"

"Little Creatures is a famous local brewery in Fremantle than also has one of the best restaurants in town.

Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse.

House made charcuterie and small goods and killer sarnies are just the tip of the iceberg, with the bar’s offerings just as exciting a prospect if you’re there later in the day (or earlier, who are we to judge?). 88 George Street, East Fremantle"

"The Grumpy Sailor’s Barista’s make an amazing cup of coffee. If you’re looking for a quick bite their bagels make the walk off the cafe strip worth the effort. You’ll find the Grumpy Sailor 5 minutes walk away."
