7. The Shore Cafe, Lot 3 Portside Promenade Alkimos

The Shore Cafe has a wonderfully picturesque setting. The food is sublime and the cafe is open from 8am daily. A climbing net and a large grass area out front (remember a ball!) keeps it simple and can keep junior amused while mum and dad soak up the exquisitely laid-back vibes.
