Applecross is an affluent riverside suburb in Perth's southern corridor with one of the highest median household incomes in WA. Canning Highway supports a boutique café and restaurant strip serving a discerning, quality-focused local demographic. Applecross customers spend more per visit than almost any other Perth suburb but are highly selective. Mediocre product at high rent fails quickly here. The right concept — quality ingredients, relaxed premium service — can build an intensely loyal regular base.
