While you’re there… GREAT COFFEE AND EATS As you peruse the streets of Freo you might need some fuel in the form of caffeine and food. We highly recommend May Street Larder, Ootong & Lincoln and Bread in Common. WINE TIME After all that cardio shopping you might also need a wine. To watch the world go by try Whisper Wine Bar in the city centre, or Young George in East Fremantle. If you fancy some sea air with your Sauv Blanc then head to Bather’s Beach House. PL
