Market Hall, Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia





Modern Australian cuisine. Love the design - especially the paint can lights, wooden tables and funky red stools. Excellent service. Don't miss their version of gnocchi - spinach and ricotta dumplings with a sweet smooth pumpkin sauce. Mmmm :-)

Flutes Restaurant






Flutes Restaurant is one of the most spectacular places I've eaten at in Australia - with prices to match. The tables overlook a peaceful pond with ducks and a lush green backdrop. The interior is tastefully decorated with a decent selection of work from local artists. Food and service are super. The accompanying winery, Brookland Valley, offers some incredible wines. Indeed some of the best drops I tasted in Margaret River came from this winery. The prices match the quality though - no bargains here - but definitely worth a visit. I will return on my next trip for sure.

Bushtucker Winery Tour with Lunch











This is a highly recommended way of seeing and tasting the wineries of Margaret River. Strict drink driving laws in Australia prevent you from enjoying and driving yourself around. A small group tour is the way to go. Bushtucker tours were fantastic. The tour was well organized, the guide very knowledgeable and the lunch was a real treat. Authentic Aussie gourmet food and bushtucker were the highlights. We very much enjoyed the smoked wild turkey breast, roast beef, pumpkin bread, and an amazing selection of anti-pasto bits such as sun dried tomatoes, olives, cheese and some great local bush berries. The wineries you see are smaller boutique wineries that you might not see on the usual tourist route.

Ask at your accommodation if they have discounts for any tours, restaurants, wineries etc. Our hotel had 10% of Bushtucker Tours when booking through them and a number of other discounts for the region.
