Taylor St Quarters

Southern WA


This sprawling cafe by the jetty serves fish tacos, burgers, seafood and salads. Locals hang out at the tables on the grass or on the covered terrace. It's good for a glass of wine or chilled pint of Lucky Bay Brewing's refreshing kölsch beer. Ask about occasional live music – usually on Sunday afternoons.
