Butters West Leederville

Butters West Leederville is a café and wine bar in West Leederville, Perth, shifting from daytime coffee and café fare into an evening venue for wine, cocktails, beer and small plates. Its menu covers breakfast and lunch, with dishes ranging from Eggs Your Way and Avo on Toast to more substantial options such as the Pork Benny, Masala Scrambled Eggs and Moroccan Eggs. Lunch choices include beef, karaage chicken and field mushroom burgers, steak sandwiches and quesadillas, with smoothies and milkshakes also available.

There is plenty of detail in the food, including house-made elements and flavours drawn from different cuisines. The Pork Benny pairs pulled pork with fennel, leeks, hollandaise and burnt leek oil, while the Moroccan Eggs come with garlic labne, spicy brown butter, capers, roasted tomatoes, zaatar and toasted hazelnut. For a lighter or shared evening meal, the bar menu includes toasted focaccia, warm Sicilian olives, fried halloumi, beef tacos, chilli salmon bites, karaage chicken and peanut chilli tofu. The venue also offers a selection of cicchetti, making it suited to grazing rather than a single large meal.

Drinks are a central part of the experience. Butters lists wines and sparkling options, local and imported beers, spirits, cocktails and beer on tap, including Stone & Wood, Swan Draught, Guinness and Little Creatures Hazy IPA. The cocktail list includes a Butterscotch Espresso Martini, Negroni, Tommy’s Margarita, Lychee and Elderflower Martini, Limoncello Mojito and several spritzes. That range gives the venue a clear day-to-night appeal without limiting it to one type of occasion.

The setting is a green-filled courtyard designed for balmy evenings, while an open fire provides a warmer atmosphere in colder weather. The venue describes itself as suitable for events, catch-ups with friends and family, and romantic date nights, so it can work for relaxed group gatherings as well as a more intimate visit. With breakfast and lunch during the day and a broader food-and-drinks offering at night, it is a flexible option for people looking to meet, eat or settle in for a drink in Leederville.
