If you’re heading to Il Mandolino in East Perth for brekkie, then we recommend starting your morning with either the Norwegian eggs containing smoked salmon, poached eggs, avocado, spinach and tomatoes smothered in hollandaise or alternatively the Italian-style basil and lemon chicken on ciabatta. However, if you like things on the sweeter side of life, the Il Mandolino blueberry pancakes topped with cream, butter and edible flowers are a real treat – and, washed down with a freshly made juice, smoothie of coffee, we can’t think of too many other ways we’d prefer to start our day in Perth.

During the evening, Il Mandolino really kicks things up a notch. We’re talking real Italian gourmet pizzas topped with gorgonzola, truffle oil, mushrooms and parmesan or spicy prawns, mozzarella, zucchini and garlic, with lashings of olive oil of course. This Perth favourite also boasts an array of seafood specialities such as chilli mussels with garlic and white wine finished in a Neapolitan sauce, or local freshly-caught barramundi served with homemade sweet potato chips, and plenty more where that came from! But to discover what all the fuss is about this East Perth haven, you’ll just have to book a table at Il Mandolino on Hay Street – Buon Appetito!
