Rocksalt Restaurant

Rocksalt is the local breakfast-and-brunch spot in the Hawker Place shops, known for generous modern Australian plates and a relaxed, family-friendly crowd. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which is where you will be eating if you bring one along.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating out front, not inside the dining room. Staff are used to four-legged customers and the outdoor tables get shade for part of the day. Bring your own water bowl to be safe, as on-site water for dogs is not confirmed.

Known for. The breakfast burger (bacon, egg, cheese, spinach, barbecue sauce) and the eggs benedict come up often in reviews, along with generous portion sizes and friendly, efficient service.

Getting there and parking. Rocksalt sits in the Hawker Place shopping centre at 4/78 Hawker Place, with free off-street parking right by the shops, so it is an easy stop before or after a walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Hawker Oval and the Hawker District Playing Fields are both a short walk away for a run before or after breakfast, and the Pinnacle Nature Reserve trails are a short drive from the shops.
