Perth - Octopus Crumpets & French Toast for brunch/lunch!

Yesterday, Friday was a stunning clear blue day here in Perth so we went for a drive north of the city around Scarborough, Triggs Beach to check out the area. 
Sandy used to frequent these parts way back last century when she first meet Rob.


For lunch I had an octopus crumpet!! … Yes I know, not two words that one would imagine ever going together. 

We found a little Italian place called Monelli at Burns Beach, that was a lot quieter than the other beach side cafes we had passed with loud kids and truck loads of dogs!!! 
We love kids … “baked or fried” 😂 
Yesterday we wanted our lunch location to be small 2 legs and 4 leg free! we wanted it to be more zen like. 🧘  
Probably not so zen of a day for the octopus!!


Poached octopus sitting on a on a house-made large pillow-ie crumpet with horseradish cream, shaved fennel and smoked paprika oil.
Food Heaven combo for sure.
Went super well with a WA chardonnay.

Sandy enjoyed her french toast with orange blossom cream, crispy rhubarb and pistachios while not looking at me or my eight legged plate!
