Best breakfasts in the Margaret River Region

Start your day right with a full buffet breakfast at Hilton Garden Inn Busselton, served daily from 7-10am. It’s got everything – from fresh bakery treats and fruits to a cold-press juice bar and all your hot breakkie favourites. Kids are welcome too, and perhaps the best part? You don’t need to be a hotel guest to enjoy it – everyone’s invited.

This is like a French getaway, right on your plate. Dive into classic French dishes for breakfast (and lunch) at Bistro Breton, where the menu is split into two delightful worlds: hearty bistro faves and dreamy French crêpes – sweet or savoury, take your pick!

The star of the menu is savoury buckwheat crêpes made from naturally gluten-free flour, traditionally enjoyed as a main alongside homemade delights. A fun twist – these crêpes are just as delicious with sweet toppings, and don’t miss signature dishes like La Terroir and the Croque Monsieur. Bon appétit!

49 Queen Street, Busselton

Perched right on the sand at the foot of Busselton Jetty, The Goose sets the tone for a relaxed day at Busselton’s iconic foreshore. Sit down and soak up the views with a delicious breakfast, or grab a light meal at their kiosk for a beach picnic.

If you have kids in tow, a visit to the magnificent playground right next door is a must.

Reborn in late 2021 after a stylish refurb, Tonic by the Bay wakes you up with fresh, flavour-packed breakfasts served daily from 8am-11am. Whether you’re craving poached eggs with crispy bacon and hashbrowns, indulgent Shark Bay crab scrambled eggs, or a tasty brekky burger smothered in Jibba’s hot sauce and hollandaise, there’s something for every appetite.

After some lighter bites? Try their house-made granola with maple greek yoghurt, or a banana bread with espresso butter. So good!

Breakfast at a brewery? Follow up your morning swim at the Busselton Foreshore with a delicious bun and coffee from the window at Shelter Brewing Co. Open 7 days a week from 7am, they also have a few sweet treats available for those who prefer to start the day on a (sugar) high. Snap up one of the picnic tables outside, or find a shady spot under the trees.

Opening at 7am on weekdays, South West Bottega is one of the earliest spots in the region to enjoy a top-notch breakfast.

This stylish, eclectic space – part vintage and vinyl shop – serves excellent coffee, artisan baked goods, and Italian-inspired dishes. Nestled in a leafy garden in Vasse, just outside Busselton, it also offers family-friendly touches like a playground and community garden.

With locally sourced produce, house-pressed olive oil, and subtle truffle-inspired flavours, it’s a no-brainer for a relaxed start to your day.

Perched by the turquoise waters of Bunker Bay, ilma Beach House is a dream spot for brunch lovers who appreciate a little aesthetic with their Turkish Eggs. With stunning interior, sweeping ocean views and a breezy, sun-soaked veranda, it’s the perfect spot to start your day. The menu is all about fresh, local goodness – think vibrant seasonal plates, top-notch coffee, and delicious morning cocktails.

Don’t forget to check out their sister venue Meelup Farmhouse too – just as delicious food and visually stunning, but with a country twist and cute farm animals.

Farm Break Lane, Naturaliste

Starting your day at a winery? Why not – you’re in wine country, after all! Kick things off with breakfast in Eagle Bay at the Wise Winery restaurant, perfectly perched next to their cellar door and winery.

The seasonal breakfast menu highlights fresh, regional produce, with dishes that change daily to make the most of what’s in season. Thanks to strong connections with local suppliers, the chefs craft meals that celebrate the very best the region has to offer – bon appétit with a side of breathtaking views.

A couple of years ago, Pullman Bunker Bay Resort set themselves a challenge: to create the best hotel breakfast in Western Australia. It’s a generous buffet of freshly sliced fruit, a juicing station, housemade granola, petite danishes and traditional hot options.

Fill your plate, then take a seat in the restaurant or on the terrace if the weather permits, to take in the beautiful bay views. Best of all, you don’t need to be a resort guest to enjoy the breakfast buffet.

42 Bunker Bay Road Off, Cape Naturaliste Rd, Naturaliste

Right by the Dunsborough foreshore, Sora Café is your go-to spot for that post-walk coffee, laid-back brunch, or a long lunch with mates. The space is bright and breezy with big, curved windows and a “less is more” Scandi style – it really draws you in to linger a little longer.

The menu pairs local produce with nostalgic flavours and global notes – and you must try the Smoked Salmon Smørrebrød. Made with Merchant & Maker Danish rye bread, dill cream cheese, frissee, pickles, sweet potato miso puree, and smoked salmon sourced from Denmark, it’s absolutely divine.

26 Geographe Bay Road, Dunsborough

Lamonts secured a reputation for outstanding dining decades ago before Margaret River was on the foodie trail, and Lamonts Smiths Beach does quality beachside brunch with finesse.

A generous stack of pancakes came topped with berries and vanilla-flecked mascarpone, and the coffee was spot-on. We’re coming back to work our way through the rest of the menu – potato rosti with roasted mushrooms and poached egg, and Shakshuka baked eggs with tomato & fire-roasted capsicum sauce are calling! Bonus: they are open 7 days a week.

67 Smiths Beach Road, Yallingup

Goanna Bush Café’s Indo Breakfast should come with a health warning: “highly addictive, even the grommets will demand a return visit.” Spiced coconut rice with a fried egg, spinach, avocado, and coriander pesto sounds like an unusual combination, but it works perfectly.

Chef Duncan Timmons made a tree change from a Michelin-starred London restaurant to buy Goanna in 2008, and the word is out – the food here is awesome. Set in picturesque bushland near Dunsborough, it’s the perfect place to relax and linger.

278 Hayes Road, Dunsborough

Aravina Estate has mastered the recipe for the perfect lunch, the kind that you never want to end, ages ago. Wine and food that hits the spot, stunning views and entertainment for young and old – it simply works. Now they are taking on breakfast as well. Monday to Friday, 8-9am, you’re sure to find your favourites, whether it’s bacon & eggs or a chia pudding you’re craving.

Watch your kids happily fill their bellies before they disappear into the fenced-in playground. While you finish your cuppa in peace.

61 Thornton Rd, Yallingup

Well-established and loved by locals and visitors alike, La Lah has earned a spot in your Dunsborough breakfast rotation any day of the week. If you have a special celebration coming up, book in for their bottomless brunch, one of a kind in the region. Start with a mini granola jar, followed by your choice of brunch dish and a shared pastry dessert board, paired with 90 minutes of free-flowing bubbles, spritz and mimosas.

Spilling out onto the pavement in the vibrant heart of town, the La Lah experience is easy and relaxing, combining the pleasure of good food with warm service.

Bay View Centro 3, Dunn Bay Road, Dunsborough

This spot might just serve the freshest pies you’ll ever taste! At Caves Farm, everything is baked onsite using produce from the farm and the South West, including their standout venison pie. One bit and you’ll understand why it’s nothing short of divine.

Pair your perfect pie with barista-made coffee, freshly baked pastries, and breads for a much-needed stop along scenic Caves Road. Set in a relaxed, welcoming farm-gate atmosphere, it’s a true farm-to-table experience that makes the most important meal of the day – breakfast – feel extra special.

5103 Caves Rd, Cowaramup

Yes, Margaret River Chocolate Company does offer delicious savoury options, featuring house-made chutneys, condiments and relishes. But let’s not fool ourselves: your order will contain at least one item covered in chocolate. Their freshly baked gourmet waffles are a must-try, and so are their chocolate croissants, specialty mochas and decadent hot chocolates.

This family-friendly café with indoor and outdoor seating will make your first stop on the day’s itinerary truly special.

415 Harmans Mill Rd &, Tom Cullity Dr, Metricup

When Colin and Gaye opened Drift Café back in 2014, they thought coffee would steal the show – but the food quickly proved just as big a draw! Using top-quality, local, and seasonal ingredients became the heart of everything they served.

These days, Drift is known for its standout breakfasts, and the Egg Florentine is a firm favourite. Think perfectly poached Margaret River free-range eggs over wilted spinach and organic sourdough from Margaret River Woodfire Bread, all topped with house-made hollandaise and a sprinkle of roasted capers. Go classic, or add bacon or smoked salmon if you’re feeling fancy.

And yes – coffee is still a star. Pair your Florentine with a silky Five Senses latte and drift into your morning.

1/72 Willmott Avenue Margaret River

At White Elephant Beach Café you’ll line up with locals to order, because not only do they have show-stopping views of one of the best beaches around, the food is top-notch too.

Overlooking the shores of Gnarabup Beach, bring your bathers and tuck into a brekkie burger for a traditional bacon and egg fix (sandwiched into a luscious milk bun) or grab the smashed pumpkin with avo, feta, dukkha and poached egg for a colourful, nutritious fix.

Stay warm and dry in their stylish glass-fronted room when the cooler weather rolls in. Views are equally fab when the weather is wild.

1 Gnarabup Rd, Gnarabup

A visit to Margaret River is almost no visit to Margaret River without stopping in for breakfast at the icon that is Margaret River Bakery. At least once. Their red and pink sign is unmissable as you enter the township, and so is their well-filled counter with baguettes, focaccias, wraps, pies, toasties, buns, rolls, danishes, croissants and loaves of bread…

This European-style bakery and café has been waking up the main street with the smell of fresh croissants and coffee since the 1960s, and once you step inside, you’ll see why.

89 Bussell Highway, Margaret River

Margaret River Farmers Market is an exciting place to grab a feed for breakfast in Margaret River, plus ingredients to cook up something special.

272 Bussell Hwy, Margaret River 

Amato Vino’s little hole-in-the-wall in Witchcliffe might be small, but it delivers big on flavour. Their WitchyBrews Espresso Bar serves up seriously good coffee (with a double shot as a standard!) and tasty eats – all made with top local produce.

Grab a breakkie wrap – egg & bacon, or a Mexi-bean – or go for a classic toastie, featuring goodies like Sonja’s feta, Farmhouse ham, and Paddock2Produce relishes. You’ll find locally made cookies, brownies, granola bars, and alfajores – plus plenty of dairy- and gluten-free options too.

3 Redgate Road, Witchcliffe

The Colourpatch Café & Bar in Augusta offers breathtaking views of the Blackwood River and the charming township, all thanks to its prime northerly aspect. With a spacious verandah, it’s an ideal spot for an outdoor breakfast… or lunch… or dinner.

While you’re there, don’t miss the restored 1960s Albany-built 10-metre yacht on display inside the restaurant. Pair those views with a breakfast mimosa or dig into pancakes topped with banana, caramel, and vanilla ice cream. Bliss!
