Fortunately, Albany shares the rest of the Southwest's laudable preoccupation with quality eating; several independent
restaurants
fill the gap between fast-food franchises and dreary motel dining rooms in a most appetizing way. The sometimes lively
Earl of Spencer
and
White Star
pubs
on Spencer Street also have counter meals.
Al Fornetto , York St (tel 08/9842 1060). Italian-style steak and seafood, as well as pizzas from $12. Avoid the watery pasta. Daily 6pm-late. Argyle's , 42 Stirling Terrace. Overlooking the bay, with meals for around $15 and internet access. Wed-Sun 11.30am-late. Cello's , Church Lane Rd, Kalgan River.
