Relaxed beachfront glamour persists at this Swanbourne favourite.
Despite expansive coastline, Perth doesn’t readily offer enough places like this, where you can clamber off the beach to dine on the now-iconic yellow-and-white umbrella lined deck. Part of George Kailis’s family of coastal venues (which also includes Gibney and Magic Apple), there’s the obvious seafood credentials, an award-winning wine list, and a menu that utilises the Josper grill.
An Abrolhos Islands Scallop arrives on the shell, simply baked with jamón serrano and paprika butter; juicy, thick goldband snapper fillet sits atop cannellini and braised fennel, and a pear and walnut tart is lifted by gently spiced Anglaise, poured at the table. Kailis venues have earned a reputation for their wine and here the list is deeper than the Indian Ocean.
Days later you’ll perhaps remember a dish, or that vermouth on the rocks, a chilled sangiovese, but what endures is the atmosphere, the setting, the full package.
