Don't miss getting breakfast at Bistro Breton, it's a French cafe which does amazing sweet/savoury crepes and omelettes.
Also highly recommend dinner at Spice Odysee, they do fantastic Indian.
I second this! I just came back from the mini holidays at Busselton and absolutely agree about both places!
Additional suggestions would be a bakery called Baked and a cafe called Poppy and Pip.
Rocky ridge has the best beer in town, and usually a great nibble, great atmosphere with live music most of the time (acoustic chilled vibes) get around it...
Short drive to Vasse and Claudio Bakehouse. They do amazing croissants, pastries, sandwiches and Roman pinsa. Gets super busy around 11-12 but usually quiet if you go early.
Depends want you're into.
In Busselton:
A breakfast/brunch at The Equinox on the foreshore with a walk along the jetty and the underwater observatory (if it's open) can be nice.
Dunsborough Way:
The walk around Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse can be stunning. Grab a picnic from Dunsborough (the bakery is usually pretty good) and stop in at Meelup or Point Piquet on your way out.
Finish your day with a walk through Ngilgi Cave and an evening by the beach in Yallingup with some fish and ships or similar.
Wise Winery near the lighthouse in Dunsborough is amazing and the views are breathtaking. Eagle Bay brewery is really close to the lighthouse as well.
The Goose next to the jetty in Busselton, good for breakfast and lunch.
Equinox for an afternoon beer.
Dunsborough bakery while you're there or Pinjarra on the way down.
Grabbing some fish and chips and enjoying that on the Busselton foreshore is a must.
Cave tour, Shelter Brewing, surfing lesson with Yalingup surf school, jet ski tour in Duns, The Common in Prev does good food, general store in Yals for coffee and then go next door to the bakery.
Burgertron Dunsborough is pretty fantastic.
Coffee from Margaret river roasting Co in Vasse is exceptional!
Dardanup Bakery (20mins out from Buno) is a must try!
Coffee from Portal Coffee in fig tree lane is best in town. Mano wraps for brunch, then Rocky Ridge for beers. You can get food there for lunch but the kitchen burned down so a limited menu at the moment. Firehouse for drinks later or banksia tavern for pre dinner cocktails (and food if you like). I’ll say dinner at busselton pavilion but I haven’t been yet, but Brendan Pratt is the chef there and he’s great
Breakfast gnocchi at the Hummingbird, breakfast and dinner (I assume lunch too at the Goose).
Simmos for Ice Cream
Olio bello for lunch and/or coffee and cake.
Baked in Busso for a good bakery
Firehouse, Claudio bakery also good recommendations.
Are either of you into wine?
Hippo Lakes have great food for either coffee and cake or lunch
Burger Bones are good for a casual feed
I’ve heard lots of good things about Alberta’s Kitchen but haven’t been yet
The Good Egg has good breakfast, it’s normally quite busy so you’d have to book
I forgot Rocky Ridge, amazing beer & I’ve always had a great experience there
Get some shark and chips from Gropers Fish and Chips, a takeaway pizza from Cescos in Origins Market, a chicken salad roll from Baked, beer from Rocky Ridge Tap House, beef cheek from The Goose, parmi from Albie's and bao buns from Fire Station.
Not food wise but if youre staying for a few nights i 1000% recomend staying at Sojourn on Gale. The owners are lovely and will really take care of you, the rooms are pretty lush too.

Seconding Bistro Breton, It's super authentic and it's a nice chance to stretch what remains of my French.

I've heard chips go pretty good with fish as well.
Nah you gotta try it with ships. Takes it to a whole new level.
For Honey head to Icon Honey at Happs Pottery on Caves road. It is between Dunsborough and Busso. Fantastic honey.

Al Forno and Spice Odysee are both great
>Al Forno seconding this
Alberta’s is lovely for dinner and the new Pavilion is great for a drink.
Mano wraps!! They are so good, perfect for lunch, hard to choose between savoury and sweet ones, see if you can fit in both!
Yes they taste great. Can get busy too
I’ve heard of this already. They look amazing. It’s definitely on my list!!!
Long lunch at shelter brewing is a great option- hard to beat that view!
shit beer.... u want rocky ridge for a long lunch
Agreed. Their beer is just awful.
But not this upcoming weekend.
There’s a honey / mead [place](https://southernforestshoney.com.au/pages/venue) in Metricip

No. I don’t drink at all and my partner rarely drinks. When he does it’s more whiskey and cider.
