Satchmo Café is a unique establishment in North Perth, founded in 2015 by Nathan and Benedikte Karnovsky. This mother and son team have a deep-rooted passion for bringing the essence of a New Orleans cafe to Perth, blending traditional Jewish flavors with the vibrant cuisine and music of New Orleans. Their seasonal menu reflects the family’s cultural heritage and love for diverse culinary experiences.
The name “Satchmo” pays homage to the legendary trumpet player Louis Armstrong, who was raised by a Karnovsky family member that nurtured and inspired his musical talent. Satchmo Café not only serves delicious food but also honors the traditional custodians of the land, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation, on which their culinary creations come to life. This commitment to cultural respect and culinary innovation sets Satchmo Café apart in the local dining scene.
With a rich history and a philosophy rooted in honoring heritage while embracing creativity, Satchmo Café offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience for patrons seeking a taste of New Orleans in the heart of Perth. The fusion of Jewish culinary traditions and New Orleans influences creates a menu that is both comforting and exciting, appealing to food enthusiasts looking for something beyond the ordinary.
