Sustainability and technique go hand in hand at this Italian-inspired Bunbury favourite.

Committing to sustainability is easier said than done, but here they’ve walked the walk. Proud of provenance and an emphasis on ethically sourced food, the mostly Italian-inspired menu spotlights local producers, like award winning cheesemaker Halls Family Dairy.

Simple classics, carbonara and bruschetta, are done well, while a dish of line-caught blue-eye trevalla wrapped with a scampi and herb crepe in golden pastry, Wellington style, impresses as a labour of love and technique; succulent and full-flavoured, served with fish jus and creamed peas. Further bolstering the experience is the considered drinks list, with a solid cocktail line-up and a main-event wine list spanning 20 or so pages. Servers know the by-the-glass list well and aren’t shy to offer a match, while the bottle list covers everything from Champagne and aged bottles of Hill of Grace to more budget-friendly offerings from Margaret River and the Swan Valley. A worthy detour on your way to or from the south.
