Breakfast on the coast at Mindarie, where Perth’s northern beaches actually meet the table. Sandara at Dunes Beach Resort serves modern Australian breakfast and brunch with sweeping ocean views. Locally roasted coffee, Western Australian produce, and mornings that ask you to linger.
Breakfast at Sandara is not just the first meal of the day, it is a seaside ritual. Classic favourites reimagined with a modern Australian twist, built on Western Australia’s seasonal bounty. Local farmed produce, artisan suppliers and native ingredients that tell the story of the land, served in a sun-drenched dining room with the rhythm of the waves as your backdrop. Come for the flat white, stay for the benedict, leave after the beach walk.
Free-range eggs on woodfired sourdough, benedicts lifted with saltbush hollandaise, and avocado smash with a hint of lemon myrtle. Familiar starts, reimagined.
Swan Valley honey, Margaret River dairy, fresh coastal seafood and native ingredients like wattle seed and finger lime, from suppliers the kitchen knows by name.
Artisan coffee roasted in Perth, fresh-baked pastries and buttermilk hotcakes with native berries. Best taken slowly while the ocean does its thing.
Sun-drenched interiors, natural textures and the horizon of Mindarie’s dunes and sea. Mornings here are about fresh beginnings and a connection to place.
If you have been searching for breakfast in Mindarie, brunch near Quinns Rocks or a beachfront cafe experience on Perth’s northern coast, Sandara is the new name to know. The dining room looks straight over the Indian Ocean, the coffee is roasted in Perth, and the menu reads like a tour of Western Australia’s best producers.
Come for the classics, free-range eggs on woodfired sourdough, a benedict with saltbush hollandaise, avocado smash lifted with lemon myrtle. Or go the long way round: bush granola with Swan Valley honey yoghurt, buttermilk hotcakes with native berries, fresh-pressed juices and pastries baked that morning.
Weekday mornings run slow and local. Weekends hum with resort guests and day-trippers. Long-table group brunches, birthday breakfasts and baby shower mornings are all comfortable territory, and the beach is right there when the last coffee is done.
Sweeping Indian Ocean views from the table, dunes rolling away to the north and the kind of light photographers chase. This is the breakfast spot people drive up the coast for.
Menus crafted around WA farmed produce, artisan suppliers and native bush foods, blending European technique with Asian influence. Swan Valley honey, Margaret River dairy and coastal seafood all make regular appearances.
Arrive for coffee, stay for brunch, walk the beach after. Resort guests stroll down from their tents, locals claim the window tables, and nobody gets hurried out with the bill.
The best way to be first through the door is to sleep on site. Dunes Beach Resort’s 38 luxury glamping tents sit on the dunes above the restaurant, which makes breakfast the shortest commute of your week.
