Wise Vineyard Restaurant

Reviewed By lindadownunder - Perth, Australia

A group of 8 friends returned to Wise for lunch after enjoying a mid year get together there.
I had made a reservation in advance and on arrival we were promptly seated near the open window with beautiful views of the bay and vineyards on a lovely summer's day.
Heath the chef suggested we share a range of entees so we could all get a taste of what was on offer.
The entrees all sounded delicious so this was a good idea.
Among the range of entrees delivered to the table was the beetroot bowl which was light and full of unexpected but delicious flavours including orange, date and courgettes. The beetroot was incredibly sweet.
We also savoured the cured salmon, chicken liver parfait and Fremantle octopus with black charcoal hummus which were enjoyed by all.
Heath also suggested we share a mixture of mains and as we had enjoyed the shared entree concept so much we decided to do so again.
A big hit was the Shark Bay Rankine Cod served on a salad of vine ripened tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and EVOO. The fish fillet was moist and perfectly cooked.
For the meat lovers the Angus Sirloin was tender and flavoursome as was the crispy pork belly.
Topping off the mains selection was a delicious potato and spinach gnocchi with blue cheese cream and tomato sugo.
Our whole table then enjoyed the creme brulee and coffee.
The service was pleasant, informative and attentive throughout our lunch.
A big positive for our group is that restaurant serves beer on tap as well as wine.
Overall our luncheon experience was of a high standard with every member of the party giving it either a 9 or 10/10 and we look forward to returning.

The food we had here was very good - flavoursome and presented beautifully. We've passed this place many times when visiting the south west and finally made it here for lunch. The bento box was a tasty and novel dish but I think the smoke...MoreHi Cindy, happy to hear you enjoyed the food!

Bunkers Beach House

Is it possible to please change our location to Dunsborough please? (all our customers are getting lost at the moment) Same postcode: 6281

Reviewed By Grant B - Greater Perth, Australia

Service was the main issue with refusal to join tables together to accommodate other guests who decided to join us despite restaurant half empty.
Unable to accommodate any platter service the day of the wedding when asked the day before the wedding.(staying walking distance to cafe getting groomsman ready.)
Only one size of coffee, little behind the times.
Little disappointing considering 2 years ago my daughters wedding was held at the cafe and everything was amazing.
Whats happened, change of staff obviously, That sort of service in Perth would not be tolerated too much competition.

Simmo's Icecreamery

Simmo’s icecream is handmade using the freshest local produce; milk and cream is pasteurized on the premise, followed by a combination of a few secret ingredients and Simmo’s imagination to create flavours that are udderly delicious! From a list of about 100 different flavours, of which 60 are on display daily as well as the adventure park, expanse of lawn and renovated astroturfed 18 hole goofy golf. Simmos is on the ‘must do’ list of many visiting the Dunsborough / Margaret River Region.

Reviewed By BillNorthumberland - Morpeth, United Kingdom

Well worth the slight detour off the main road. There seemed to be over a hundred different varieties to choose from and the Granddaughters took great delight at choosing. Outside there is a play ground area and next to this a solar farm with a Emu that loves ice cream too, but be careful as he can get a bit boisterous.

Clancy's Fish Pub

Nestled amongst the bushland of the glorious South West, overlooking a tranquil lake and soaring gum trees, lies Clancy’s Fish Pub Dunsborough. Featuring all the loveable traits from the Fish Pub family, in the most spectacular of settings, Clancy’s Dunsborough is a must-see. Delicious seafood is scoffed and local beer and wine guzzled by locals and holiday-makers, while the sound of live music drifts through the serene surrounds. From art Exhibitions and film festivals, to international touring acts playing to 1000 people, the venue is quickly becoming a cultural oasis for the South West region. Clearly a place for all, with families, surfers, muso’s, artists, tourists, dogs and even the odd emu, the entire family will love the grassy openness of Clancy’s Dunsborough……

My wife and I hosted two friends visiting from Germany to lunch at Clancy's.
Great selection of beers with knowledgable staff who could match or beer likes with what was available on-tap, and it was very good.
Honest simple food without all the frills, tasty and fresh.
A great spot!
