West End Deli

West End Deli is a neighbourhood breakfast-and-lunch cafe on Carr Street in West Perth, open from 6am on weekdays and known for a solid Modern Australian brunch. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out front, which sit on a calm residential stretch well away from the city's busy arteries, an underrated thing when you are trying to get a dog to settle.

The dog setup

Dogs join you at the handful of outdoor tables on the Carr Street frontage. Staff are reported to be friendly and accommodating with canine visitors; bring your own water bowl to be safe since one is not guaranteed. The street is low-stress and the footpath is wide enough for a dog to lie clear of passing prams, which suits a dog that prefers quiet over bustle.

Worth knowing

The kitchen's reputation rests on its Eggs Benedict variations, thick-cut bacon and quality coffee, with shakshuka and chicken and waffles rounding out the favourites. Brunch runs to early afternoon, closing at 2pm daily. It is a compact room, so the outdoor tables can fill on weekends; the earlier you land, the easier the table.

Getting there and parking

Find it at 95 Carr Street. Parking is street-only on Carr and the surrounding residential streets, so check signage for time limits, particularly if you are leaving the dog in the shade while you duck inside to order.

Make a day of it

The Perth Dog Exercise Area gives a proper run for the dog, and the quiet streets around the cafe suit a gentle wander either way. If this one is full, Gather on Hay and Cleaver Heritage Cafe are the other West Perth dog-friendly options.

More picks are on the WA dog friendly cafes guide and the West Perth destination page.

Max: weekday morning is the sweet spot here. The 6am opening means you can be on the footpath with a coffee before the Carr Street commuters arrive.
