🏆 Our Restaurant comes very Highly Recommended 🏆

“Refined winery dining, right on the city’s doorstep.”

Oh, what a night we had earlier this week!  Sandalford Restaurant and Bar finished in the top three at the National RCA Hostplus Awards in Sydney in the Restaurant in a Winery category, and was chosen again in the TOP 100 Restaurants at the WA Good Food Guide Awards in Fremantle.

“Sandalford Wines, a stalwart of the Swan Valley destination dining scene, certainly doesn’t rest on its reputation. Every season, executive chef Alan Spagnolo refreshes his menu to showcase local produce (but as much as things change, thankfully the Dardanup lamb rump is a staple.)”

We are thrilled to be judged so competitively, and thank the sponsors (and judges) and congratulate all our fellow finalists. 

The 2023 RCA judges chose Sandalford Restaurant and Bar as the Restaurant of the Year in Western Australia, also awarding us Best Modern Contemporary and Restaurant in a Winery in our State.

“There’s an element of choose-your-own-adventure to the winery, with multigenerational family groups sitting among the vines sharing the likes of pizza topped with spring asparagus or hand-rolled pasta, perhaps buttery tagliarini with prawns, scallops and saffron.”

Being highly commended in peer awards helps us keep our edge!  Recently our restaurant was awarded four Gold Plate awards bringing us to a total Gold Plate tally of 42 in the past 15 years.

Ultimately it is you - our customers - who we love to judge us, and we are so proud you have written us over 1,000 Google reviews, with more than 980 being 5 stars.

“Those settling into the dining room for a more intimate lunch or dinner will find impeccable attention to detail in plates like an exquisitely sliced and presented mosaic of Abrolhos octopus carpaccio, kept light and bright with blackened chilli tomato and muscatel vinegar dressing. Goldband snapper, meanwhile, is crisp of skin and flaky of flesh.”

 
Thank you also to the WA Good Food Guide for this review we are quoting!

“Just leave room for dessert, a deconstructed lemon cheesecake with almond frangipane crumble that deftly balances textures and sweet, sharp flavours.”

We invite you to come and judge us yourselves – book in now to experience our restaurant during the festive season, and match our cuisine with our hand-crafted Margaret River and Swan Valley wines.  We also offer a selection of 30 wines from around the world – you’re sure to find the perfect pairing.

“Service is brisk, friendly and informative, even when at capacity, and estate wines make things simple.  Just one more reason to book in a day trip.”

With the warm weather, our Estate is an oasis of cool and green, shaded by large trees set in beautifully manicured grounds and gardens.  Come out and enjoy the views, choose from chill misted outdoor seating or cool indoor dining, or even request our private dining room for a large group.
