Best Asian Inspired Takeaways

Spice Odysee, Busselton

They also offer the option to swap out the meat in any of the burgers for an Impossible patty, so that everyone can enjoy. All burgers come with chips (because, yes, we do want fries with that), and there are some great sides to add to your order – the sriracha butter wings are life-changing.

Normal Van, Margaret River

Normal Van started as a hugely popular food truck absolutely worth hunting down while you’re in the South West, and has now got its own brick-and-mortar restaurant in the heart of Margaret River town. American-style burgers made with fresh local produce is a winning combo, with chef and owner Rob drawing from his experience working at some of the best restaurants in Canada to bring us authentic flavours that you’ll be dreaming about long after you’ve finished that last bite.
