Raising the bar for fun and adventurous flavours in the Swan Valley.
Old Young’s Kitchen tore up the playbook when it opened in Western Australia’s oldest wine region back in 2021, bucking the West Swan Road trend of pizza, pasta and platters on repeat.
Bordered by gardens and a pretty vine-covered pergola, the all-weather al fresco is the spot to spend a leisurely afternoon. Sip on classic and rotating cocktails, spirit flights (this is a distillery outpost after all), or select wines from the neighbourhood. Spread a decadent amount of koji butter on the spent grain sourdough before sliding into a most delicate snapper cured with spent botanicals. Asparagus is dressed to the nines, each spear adorned with tiny slivers of spring beans. But the real star is the emu pastrami. Tender slices are dotted with a tart plum and cherry puree, while underneath hides a tangy, crunchy dip-like combination of bush tomato, macadamia and wattleseed. Unfettered by fine dining constraints, Old Young’s Kitchen occupies its own adventurous universe of unique dishes served alongside smart and fun drinks.
