Let's Do Have Breakfast - Left Bank East Fremantle
By: Catherine Date: July 7, 2012, 4:26 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Saturday mornings are always a great day to sleep in, especially
winter but I’ve decided that Saturday mornings are going to be
put to better use. These days there are plenty of breakfast
places to eat at and to mix up the winter grind and winter blues
a little better, I’ve decided to go somewhere nice for
breakfasts during winter Saturdays.
Yesterday (Saturday) I went to two places. Firstly at 8 am to
the “Left Bank” When I was growing up, this stately abandoned
home was a boarded up ruin. Today it has been turned into a bar
and grill that stands at the mouth of the Swan River in East
Fremantle. At night, it’s a trendy bar but in the mornings, it’s
a great place for breakfast..
At 9 am, I’d arrived at Fremantle Arts centre. Shaun Tan’s art
exhibition was on there but didn’t open until 10 so the café for
another round of coffee was the only alternative for more
enjoyable time passing and by this time, the huge breakfast I
had previously was actually starting to weigh me down. I think
next Saturday, I won’t order such a big breakfast….maybe it's
better to have brunch…Fremantle art centre’s café has a new
Israeli chef and his menu is Moroccan.
Now Shaun Tan is an animator who won an academy award a couple
of years ago. I also have some of his art work photographed…
Full breakfast at the Left bank set me back $50 ….42 of that
went towards the food and $8.00 for coffee.. Too much really…
but C’est Le Vie…. But for overseas people, Aussies don’t “tip”
as wages are very high. Hence I guess for the high prices you
pay at restaurants.

Rather than post a whole bunch of pictures, its better make a
short film and slide show…. This is part of the grounds inside
the former asylum, Girls school, Convent and was a building by
convict labour in the 1800s. Shaun Tan a Perth boy now living in
Melbourne won an academy award a couple of years ago for
animation.
Instead of just having coffee next week, I’m going to have the
breakfast at the Fremantle Arts centre and try them. I met the
chef and he makes a Moroccan style menu.
You gotta watch this…
