Freo's loveliest, licensed cafe is in the shaded courtyard of the Fremantle Arts Centre, with a menu channelling Middle Eastern, Spanish and North African influences. Breakfast highlights include baked-egg dishes – try the Israeli-style Red Shakshuka, made with tomato sugo cooked over 16 hours – and lunch presents everything from Reuben sandwiches and barramundi to lentil salads.
