BREAKFAST

THE AARLI

Broome’s pearling boom was a catalyst for a mass migration that took place in the late 1800s. It was almost as dramatic as the Australian gold rush. In droves, Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, and Malay pearl divers came to Broome in search of their fortune. They also brought with them the food and culture of their home countries. Broome’s Asian-fusion influence continues to be a major factor in Broome’s culinary scene. The Aarli is one such restaurant.

The Aarli, located in Chinatown’s heart, is the ideal place to discover more about Broome’s diverse flavours while enjoying a delicious alfresco breakfast. You’ll find Asian-inspired breakfast options like panko-crumbed eggs, wok-tossed Asian mushrooms, and Sriracha hollandaise. Delicious.

The Aarli offers modern Australian cuisine in tropical surroundings.

ZOOKEEPERS CAPIE

The name of this cafe comes from its former location at the zoo. The animals have moved on but the cafe is still run by the same family. They offer house-made pastries and breakfast favorites, as well as small-batch roasted coffees throughout the day.

Micrology coffee roasters provide the coffee. The friendly staff will do anything to make sure that you are satisfied. They are happy to offer decaf, alternative milks, and healthy juices or smoothies. The recycled coffee cups come in beautiful designs and can be enjoyed in a comfortable indoor/outdoor environment.

The Zookeepers Cafe offers quality breakfast and coffee at the former zoo.

TOWN BEACH CAFE

The cafe is located at Town Beach on its own, so you wouldn’t miss it if you were at Cable Beach. It has great coffee, a lovely atmosphere and a stunning beach view. It’s a great spot for a traditional breaky.

You can make your own adventures with eggs Florentine or eggs benedict. Add smoked salmon, chipolata sausages, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, hash browns, and many other delicious side dishes.

BROOME COURTHOUSE MARKETS

The Broome Courthouse Markets is a casual option for those who want a more casual event. This popular place is a great choice for breakfast, offering fresh fruit, breads, and Filipino-style empanadas.

A meal at Broome Courthouse Markets is a must-try.

LUNCH

THE MANGO PLACE

It looks simple at first. A collection of plastic chairs and tables made of red dirt under a canopy of fringed palms, multi-coloured lanterns, and a canopy of fringed palms, this mango farm makes the best woodfired pizzas in Broome.

You can reach the Mango Place by driving north from Broome to Derby until you see a sign titled ’12 Mile’. It’s a satellite suburb located 12 miles north of Broome.

Mango Place packs a tropical punch.

DINNER

ZANDERS CABLE BEACH

Broome is not worth the effort if you don’t take a sunset shot at Zanders. It is a popular spot for tourists and locals to enjoy the sunset as they crowd the beachfront location.

The excitement shifts to the menu once the sun sets. You can expect a variety of dishes to please all tastes, with plenty of local seafood and produce. Many locals suggest that you grab some take-out and then go to a quiet spot on the beach to enjoy the food.

Zanders is known for its beachfront location and high-quality food.

ZENSAI JAPANESE

Although it’s not visible from the street at first, enter the Cable Beach Club Resort to find the inviting aroma of Japanese flavors until you reach Zensai.

The Club Resort’s Executive chef will take you on an exciting culinary adventure to Japan at Zensai. Zensai literally means “small pretty things”. This concept is also evident in the menu. Sample-sized portions of Japanese classics are available, including fresh sashimi, tempura, yaki tori, and yaki ton.

You can choose from a variety of dishes to please your taste buds or order ‘Omakase,’ which means ‘leave the rest to us’.

RUNWAY & RESTAURANT

Runway Bar & Restaurant are located in the heart Broome. They’re the kind of place you’ll keep hearing about.

The atmosphere is lively and casual. This theme extends to both the speed and ease of the food and service. You can expect to hear the planes fluttering overhead.

Although we’ve heard great things about the steak and the burger, it’s difficult to overlook the wide selection of seafood options in this beach-centric town.

DRINKS

MATSO’S BROOME BREWERY

It is a must-do experience to visit the remotest brewery in Australia. Matso’s Broome was established in 2000 by Martin and Kim Peirson Jones, who took over a microbrewery cafe cum art gallery.

After a renovation in 2004, Matso’s is known for its ginger beer and mango beer. You can hear live music in the courtyard on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. There are also performances by great local talent.

The adjacent Curry Hut is available seven days a semaine in the courtyard during dry season. You can enjoy authentic Indian food, sometimes with Matso’s beers (try one with the chilli beer!).
