The Little Banksia is a quaint cafe in a charming old home on a quiet street in Kensington. It has period features with a lovely airy feel, plenty of seating inside and out and friendly staff.
We ordered our food and drinks inside and our freshly squeezed juices arrived quickly and were delicious and cool on this warm day.
My friend chose the cauliflower cumin fritters with cashew labneh, beetroot hummus and all sorts of yummy bits and bobs.
I ordered the bacon, avocado, rocket and tomato on ciabatta with aioli and I was more than happy with my choice.
As we’d not finished chatting we decided to indulge and share a cake, as many of you may know, if it’s only half a cake the calories don’t count!
Along with this we enjoyed a very nice flat white, in fact, it was so good I didn’t even realise that it was a skinny version of my usual full fat one!
A snooze in the garden in the sun a little while later with my book topped off a lovely afternoon.
Jane Florence was born and bred in the North West of England but has since moved around considerably.
She loves new cultures and languages and has lived in California, Copenhagen, where she met her Scottish husband, Spain, Norway, Scotland and Indonesia.
When living in Jakarta, Jane and her family enjoyed several holidays in Perth to visit friends, and thirteen years ago decided to move with the family permanently to this beautiful country.
Since coming to Perth, Jane has worked in retail but decided that life was too short and gave it up for more time to pursue other activities.
Swimming, reading, Zumba, dog walking, travel, cooking for her family, theatre and dining out are some of her passions and she’s constantly on the lookout for new and interesting places to dine.
No plans to move again, but who knows!?
