Union Kitchen

West Coast Australia


Unionise your hangover at this marina-side cafe: a big bowl of chilli mussels with fresh bread will right your rudder, or maybe some pumpkin-and-leek fritters with chilli, rocket and a poached egg. Punchy coffee and a row of black booths (who doesn't like booths?) provide further remedial support.
