Saturday just got a whole lot better at The Willowgate Café.

Meet our Full Loaded Breakfast Bagel — stacked high, toasted to perfection, and built to keep you fuelled for the weekend.
Think soft, warm bagel… layered with crispy bacon, fried egg, sausage meat and melted cheddar
It’s messy, comforting, and absolutely worth it.

Perfect with a hot coffee, a slow morning, and a seat by the river.

Pop in, grab yours, and start the day deliciously.

Throwback to the 1970s when the bridge was still rising over the Tay. Cranes in the sky, steel going up, and the river as busy as ever.

If you look closely, you can spot the old Tay Salmon Netting Station, a place once filled with the rhythm of the nets and the stories of the river.

Fast‑forward to today, and that very spot is now The Willowgate Café — still by the water, still part of Perth’s riverside life, but with coffee, cakes, and kayaks instead of salmon nets.

Amazing how the river keeps its soul even as the years roll on.

Begin your day with our smoked kippers, served on artisan sourdough and crowned with a perfectly poached egg and a flourish of fresh rocket.
A dish that balances richness and freshness — simple, classic, and beautifully plated.

Pair it with a smooth coffee and watch the morning unfold by the riverside

The Willowgate Café your warm weekend stop

There’s something about a slow Saturday that calls for proper comfort food.
Today’s special is exactly that, soft toasted ciabatta, warm BBQ chicken, melty cheese, and our homemade bacon & onion jam that tastes like it’s been simmering away in someone’s kitchen all morning.

It’s cosy, it’s hearty, and it’s perfect with a hot coffee while you watch the river drift by.
