Lamont's East Perth

Top 10 in Perth, Western Australia

"Of the Lamont clan's trio of dining rooms, it's the one in East Perth, sitting pertly on the banks of Claisebrook Inlet, that shines most brightly....Chef Nathan Lee produces careful, tasty fare that deserves its fine reputation."

Gourmet Traveller 2008 Australian Restaurant Guide, September 2007

"Lamont's, overlooking the calm waters of Claisebrook Inlet, is part of the East Perth redevelopment. The stylish yet simple dishes here focus on outstanding produce: a rustic soup of cauliflower and chive with oxtail and hazelnut ravioli is thick and satisfying; a wild mushroom crepe, savoury and earthy; the beef fillet, perfectly rare, is served with cassoulet and braised lettuce which provides a counterpoint. A special of wagyu on polenta with tempura asparagus is similarly well executed, although the freshly house-made icecream could have been churned for a bit longer. With the exception of sparkling wines, wines by the glass are from the family winery, Lamont's (the 2006 Verdelho and 2003 Shiraz are exceptional). As you'd expect, the wine list is thoughtfully chosen, and the service is friendly and efficient."

Gourmet Traveller 2007 Australian Restaurant Guide, November 2006

"You can't get a much warmer welcome to a riverside restaurant than the one offered by Kate Lamont. ....A menu that is as unpretentious and circumspect as the dishes it describes....The omnipresent marron...was simply sensational....Also worth mentioning was an indecently moist fillet of red emperor with panzanella salad and black olive dressing.....a fennel-roasted pumpkin and fetta tart with sugar-cured venison to write home about."
