;
98 Stirling St; mains $10-20; 6.30am-3.30pm Mon-Fri, 7.30am-2.30pm Sat)
Grab a
spot in the garden of this Cape Cod-style cottage just a short drive from the centre of
town. Excellent home-style baking and regular lunch specials make it worth seeking out.
Try the Asian-style sticky pork salad with nashi pear, cabbage salad and toasted peanuts.

Café 140
(140 Victoria St; mains $12-21; 7.30am-4.30pm Mon-Fri, 8am-2pm Sat & Sun)
Hip, onto-it staff make the
funky Café 140 a top spot for a leisurely Bunbury breakfast. With one of WA's best sal-
mon omelettes, good coffee, and lots of magazines and newspapers, you can kiss goodbye
to at least an hour of your travel schedule. Later in the day, gourmet burgers and grilled
Turkish sandwiches are among the lunchtime stars.
Casella's
(
www.casellas.com.au
;
1 Bonnefoi Blvd, Silos Waterfront ; tapas $10-20, mains $25-40; 11.30am-late)
The
bland decor hardly reinforces a colourful Iberian spirit, but a waterfront location and real
skill in the kitchen more than settle the ledger. Larger meals are available - try the chicken
adobado with herby roast potatoes - but the recommended Casella's experience is to settle
into the huge wine list and sample a few of the authentically Spanish tapas.

2/11 Bonnefoi Blvd; 11am-3pm Mon & Tue, to 9pm Wed-Sun)
With an absolute
waterfront location, this modern microbrewery turns out seven regular beers, plus always
interesting seasonal concoctions. Our pick is the award-winning 'Freo Doctor' lager. The
food (mains $18 to $34) is OK pub grub, and Thursday's Pint & Parma deal ($25) is good
value.
