7am-10pm)
Our favourite cafe in Mt Lawley, and one of our favourites in Perth - especially
for a leisurely breakfast over the papers and a couple of coffees. Go for the chorizo and
manchego-cheese tortilla, and work out what you'd order if you came back for dinner.
Maybe the lime-baked ocean trout or crab linguini, we reckon.

El Público in Mt Lawley is one of Perth's hippest new eateries. Look forward to in-
teresting and authentic spins on Mexican street food, all served as small plates that are
perfect for sharing. Menu standouts include fish soft-shell tacos, and tequila-infused
marshmallows for dessert. Bring along a few friends, and groove to the occasional DJs.

The finest of fine dining is offered in this upmarket dining room, where the wait

Must Winebar

Not content with
being Perth's best wine bar, Must is one of its best restaurants as well. The Gallic vibe is
hip, slick and a little bit cheeky, and the menu marries classic French bistro flavours with
the best local produce.
