Etro Bar & Bistro - Perth

What a gem hidden away in Perth. I was so happy to stumble across this cafe. The service was prompt and friendly, they were very attentive and accommodating. The breakfast was great we went back several times on our stay and it never disappointing. The coffee was also that good I ordered two each time.

First time to Etro cafe, ordered coffee to stArt with, coffee was good, creamy and strong. I had the chicken and waffle, fried chicken was really good! Flavourful, crispy and moist. Bacon was abit burnt and waffle was cold and stale. Bf ordered the smoked salmon benedict and was happy with that one :)

Unfortunately for Etro, they caught me on a boring morning. Having geared myself for the pulled pork waffle or the mushroom ragout, I arrived, enjoyed my first coffee (3.7/5) and froze. Like the proverbial deer in the headlights, I was unable to decide. My inner being was craving simplicity and heartiness....so....I had.......smashed avo with a side of bacon. There, I have said it, judge me how you will. But, then unburdened by my decision making, I turned my attention to enjoying what was a very tasty presentation of the breakfast staple. The cherry tomatoes and mint giving me two of my favourite flavours to accompany a goodly serve of av and thick cut sourdough. The bacon was a little unexciting for a $5 side, but that seems to be the norm. My similarly unadventurous dining trio of breakfast buddies buried themselves in similarly conservative options. Two lots of scrambled eggs with a side of bacon and a bacon and egg wrap and no complaints were registered. As for the rest of the experience, service was friendly and prompt, food was hot, and apart from the B&E wrap, all arrived together. So nothing really to whinge about too much there either. All in all, solid performance, I would like to offer more, but, and I'll take the blame, we were all too boring to let Etro showcase their goods...better go back for another try.

Oh my gosh!?!? How have we managed to walk past this place for so long???? We stopped in (finally) for breakfast and it was spectacular! I had the mushroom, haloumi, spinach and poached egg on toast whilst the wife had French toast with maple syrup, banana, berry compote and bacon. Both were S-E-N-S-A-T-I-O-N-A-L!!! And so reasonably priced...for Perth. The coffee was similarly impressive. We promise to stop walking by with out stopping from now on. ☺️
