With summer right around the corner, what better way to kickstart your morning, or nurse a hangover, than with a sun-drenched brunch alongside your four-legged friend. So, before securing your Sunday brunch plans consider one of these dog-friendly cafes open for sit-down meals across Perth. Check them out here:
Central & Northern Suburbs
Finlay and Sons no. 917
If you’ve passed Finlay & Sons on any given morning, you’d likely have seen a cafe with as many dogs as people. Their love of dogs is so strong that they even have an Instagram page dedicated to them, @dogsoffinlays, run by staff member Andrew Mercer. With plenty of outdoor seating to accommodate you and your furry friends as well as all-day breakfast until 2pm, this Finlay & Sons is the perfect cafe for your next brunch date.

Steam Haus

Canteen Trigg
Situated right on Trigg Beach is Canteen, a largely outdoor cafe perfect for brunch in the sun. Specialising in classics like the smashed avo on toast and smoothie bowls, breakfast at Canteen Trigg is guaranteed to be highly Instagrammable. As they are walk-in only, it’s best to get there early to secure your spot, particularly on a weekend. Or, pop your name down when you get there and take your dog for a beach walk while you wait.
