Some beaches have all the luck. Leighton is not only beautiful, but it’s also become a breakfast hotspot. There’s Bib & Tucker with its awesome views, and Brazilian food truck Comida do Sul , which dishes out fresh coconuts and coxinhas.
With breakfast served until 3pm daily, Shipping Lane is arguably Leighton Beach’s most popular choice. The hero dish is slow-poached Tasmanian salmon, cooked sous vide at 40 degrees and then topped with avo, truffle oil, a poached egg, crispy bacon and capers.
Lunch and dinner show off chef Luke Lee’s skill with Asian flavours. Hits include the sake-soaked edamame, soft-shell crab in wasabi ponzu,and the green-tea noodle salad. Best part? Shipping Lane is BYO and the well-stocked Old Bridge Cellars is just a couple of blocks down the road.
The restaurant’s name isn’t the only nod to the waterway just outside its door: rusty walls of shipping containers line the bar and a map of Fremantle’s actual shipping lane hangs near the register.
If you’ve got Fido in tow, or you simply like the idea of dining with a briny breeze on your cheek, then grab a table on the terrace out front, kick off your thongs and stay a while.
