Aurora & Dusk cafe bistro

Aurora & Dusk is a creative cafe bistro on Melville Parade in Como, sister venue to Kumo, serving Asian-fusion brunch in a detailed, art-heavy room. It is noted as dog-friendly, with dogs welcome in the outdoor seating overlooking the Swan River side of the road.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, street-facing seating along Melville Parade. The indoor dining stays people-only. Staff will often bring a water bowl, but pack your own in case it is busy. The outdoor space suits a settled, well-behaved dog beside you.

Good to know. It rates 4.9 across its early reviews, with the draw being inventive dishes like croissant benny and kimchi udon, plus specialty drinks such as black sesame and taro lattes. The interior is a talking point in its own right.

Getting there. Find it at 124 Melville Parade, on the scenic river road. Street parking runs along Melville Parade but fills at peak weekend brunch times, with side streets offering overflow.

Nearby with the dogs. The Swan River foreshore paths are directly across the road for a riverside walk, the Preston Street strip is a short trip away, and McDougall Park offers open green space for a run.
