After a few rainy days, Kalbarri treated us to a calm, overcast afternoon—ideal for taking it easy riverside at Pelican Café Kalbarri. We claimed our favourite table right out the front, offering a postcard-perfect view of the Murchison River and pelicans drifting by—just as serene as always.
The Pelican Cafe Kalbarri Menu Was Amazing…
I kept it classic with a cheeseburger and chips—a juicy patty, melty cheese, and crisp golden chips. Linley chose the grilled fish with chips and salad, light and fresh, yet satisfying. Our go-to comfort food—done really well.
I sipped on a cappuccino in a mug, smooth, rich, and steaming, while Linley enjoyed an English breakfast tea for one—always served with a welcoming smile.
Why is Pelican Cafe so Good?
What topped it all off? The staff were super friendly as always, and Kirsty (the owner) made us feel right at home, as she always does. That warm hospitality keeps us coming back, rain or shine.
If you’re visiting Kalbarri, make a stop at Pelican Café: great views, relaxed vibes, delicious food, and heartfelt service.
