Fermentum & Co

The short version. Fermentum & Co is a bakery-restaurant at 609-617 Old Coast Road, Falcon, trading on sourdough, wood-fired pizza and gourmet pastries. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, and with a 4.8 rating over 270-plus reviews it is one of the busier eats along this coastal strip.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the outdoor seating out front. Indoors is off-limits, which is standard under WA food-premises rules, so aim for a table on the footpath-facing terrace. Water bowls tend to appear on request, but pack your own to be sure, and keep your dog tucked in close since the frontage sits on Old Coast Road.

Good to know. Reviewers come back for the pizza and the burrata dip, plus tapas plates, calzone and the sourdough toast at breakfast. It works as both a morning coffee-and-pastry stop and a relaxed pizza dinner.

Getting there. The venue sits in a small shopping complex with parking directly in front, so arriving with the dog is straightforward.

When to go. Outdoor tables are limited and fill at peak brunch and dinner, so go early or off-peak if you want space for the dog. Falcon Bay Beach is minutes away for a walk before or after.
