(361 Hay St; brunch $7.50-12.50; 7am-3pm)
It's worth taking the short stroll from central Subiaco
to this cool neighbourhood cafe. Big-format photos of New York adorn the walls, providing
a cosmopolitan backdrop for interesting brunches and serious coffee. The brekky wrap or
the homemade baked beans with ciabatta toast are recommended.
Boucla

349 Rokeby Rd; mains $11-22; 7am-5pm Mon-Fri, to 3.30pm Sat)
A locals' secret, this
Greek- and Levantine-infused haven is pleasingly isolated from the thick of the Rokeby Rd
action. Baklava and cakes tempt you from the corner, and huge tarts filled with blue-vein
cheese and roast vegetables spill off plates. The salads are great too.

; 465 Hay St; mains $19-34; 7am-late)
A legendary boozer
with a makeover, the Subi's buzzy dining room is the suburb's main place to see and be
seen. The menu ranges from lighter fare like Caesar salads and Asian-inspired pork belly to
perfectly cooked steaks and excellent fish dishes. Around the corner, the main bar (

Old Brewery

; 173 Mounts Bay Rd; mains $29-48; breakfast Sun, lunch & dinner
daily)
Even Perth's steakhouses are glamorous, evidenced by this designer joint in the histor-
ic Swan Brewery building (1838). There are river views across to the city, but hardcore car-
nivores will be more interested in the beef aging gracefully in glass display cabinets.
Splash out on a 300g Wagyu scotch fillet ($79). Craft-beer fans won't go thirsty either.
