Our South West has become a world-class destination for food and wine – as well as the spectacular beaches, forests and scenery – but sometimes us WA locals have to be reminded of the delights it has on offer. With that in mind, here are a few of our favourite dining destinations for when we’re in the Dunsborough region.
Yarri
Relaxed, casual yet classy, Yarri is one of the area’s most popular restaurants and it’s not hard to see why. The setting is stunning and their set menus are incredibly well-priced for how damn tasty they are, with a focus on seasonality and sustainability. As such, their offerings are ever changing – and make sure you book ahead.
Blue Manna Bistro
If it’s fine seafood dining you’re on the hunt for, Blue Manna Bistro is the place for you. But don’t let the word “fine” turn you off: one of the friendliest joints in town, the staff are always happy to help you with any queries and make suggestions, and no matter how busy it is the head chef will always pop out to make sure everything is on point (hint: it will be).
Occy’s
Occy’s is a favourite amongst folks all over WA thanks to a true focus on vibes, namely the relaxed, friendly ones you’ll find exuding from owner Bill. Big food, big brews and a big, family friendly environment and beer garden make for a dangerous proposition – how are you going to explore the southwest if you don’t want to leave Occy’s?
Dunsborough Park Shopping Centre, 12/34 Dunn Bay Road, Dunsborough
Lady Lola
One of Dunsborough’s newer additions, Lady Lola has quickly been established as a must-visit – even nestled between heavy-hitters Blue Manna and Yarri. They do say that good things come in threes, and we can’t help but agree. Helmed by hospitality heavyweights Michelle Forbes and Marinela Antonic, visit for a blushing plate of salumi and a refreshing glass of something sparkling, or stop by later in the evening for a tantalising classic cocktail.
