Flora & Fauna, Northbridge, Perth

Leave a comment
HONESTLY’S VERDICT
In a word:  Heavenly
Food:  Bowls of nourishing sunshine.  Beautifully presented and seriously tasty
Service:  This isn’t fast food!  No complaints – they were friendly, efficient and we all got what we ordered
Presentation:  Pretty and upcycled
Ambience:  Popular and laid back little café
Location:  Hidden down a side street in Northbridge, a short walk from the centre of Perth and worth the drive from anywhere in WA!
Value for money: $50 for two drinks and two breakfasts, which at the time of writing was around £25. So in line with London prices, if not a little bit more, as is the way in WA
Worth a visit?:   Absolutely, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back, in fact it would probably be the first place I’d go to next time I’m in Perth!

Ah, Flora & Fauna…what can I say…other than, you’re beautiful and I love you.

You might might think that statement is a little over the top for a café (ok, I may have been high on post-yoga endorphins), but just look at the pictures…

Goanna Bush Cafe & Gallery, Dunsborough, Western Australia

Leave a comment
HONESTLY’S VERDICT
In a word: Native
Food:  Delicious, flavourful dishes made using local produce
Service:  Friendly and patient!
Presentation:  Simple and unfussy
Ambience:  Very relaxed
Location:  Off the beaten track; hidden away amongst the eucalypts
Value for money: Yep, below average prices for the region
Worth a visit?:  Yep, the 15 minute drive out of Dunsborough is well worth it to discover this little gem hidden away in the bush

I was tipped off about this little café by KT, yoga teacher at Zen Den Collective in Dunsborough, WA.  Had I not asked for her foodie go-to’s, I would never have discovered this hidden gem by chance, and I am so glad I did, as I loved everything about Goanna: the cafe, bush setting, shop and gallery.

Sable D’or, Crouch End, London

Leave a comment
HONESTLY’S VERDICT
In a word:  Reliable
Food:  Beautiful salads, pastries and good breakfasts
Service:  Warm welcome but table service is a bit hit and miss
Presentation:  Lovely window and deli counter display. Salvage-chic interiors!
Ambience:  Pretty chilled, verging on quiet for an early breakfast
Location:  Crouch End High Street, North London
Value for money:  A little further from central London = reasonable price tag
Worth a visit?:  The salads and English Breakfast are worth the trip ‘up north’

We were drawn to Sable D’or by the window display of freshly baked pastries and rather gorgeous looking salads, and it became one of our go-to places for breakfast when we wanted to get out of the big smoke and head north…on the 91 bus!
