  • 1. Arimia Estate

    $$ | Australian

    The newest kid on the Margaret River block, boutique winery Arimia Estate has a charming, tree-surrounded cellar door and restaurant with a wraparound veranda perfect for lazy afternoons. Make a beeline for the deck, and stay for a light lunch after sampling their award-winning wines. Savor the delicious pork shoulder rillette, before moving on to marinated cuttlefish with saffron dressing, braised goat ragout with gnocchi and chèvre, or a wood-fired pizza. Kids' meals are also available. Family-owned and -run since 1997 (the name Arimia is a combination of the owners' two daughter's names), the wines are described as “avant-garde” and aimed at the refined palette, categorized as Premium, Prestige, and Reserve. If you want to properly settle in, there's a guesthouse on-site. Don't be put off by the 2-km (1-mile) dirt road; it's well kept.

Make a beeline for the deck, and stay for a light lunch after sampling the award-winning wines (fee for tastings), and if you absolutely can't fathom leaving, consider staying at their on-site guesthouse.

  • 5. Flutes Restaurant

    $$$ | Wilyabrup

    The pastoral setting over the dammed waters of Wilyabrup Brook, encircled by olive groves in the midst of the Brookland Valley Vineyard, is almost as compelling as the cuisine—French bistro fare mixed with tropical influences from the northern Australian town of Broome. Executive chef and restaurant owner François Morvan makes use of prime local produce, creating a variety of mouthwatering dishes created especially for lingering lunches.  Reserve a seat by the window, or on the wooden deck that juts out over the picturesque dam.

  • 6. Lamont's Smiths Beach

    $$ | Australian

    Just off Smiths Beach is the chic eatery-cum-delicatessan-cum–cellar door, Lamont's. It does a fantastic breakfast—think cured salmon with scrambled eggs—and is popular for "sundowners," which is the local description for a glass of wine at sunset, often with tapas. Café lunches are lovely and simple, but more refined options are available in the restaurant. From noon till late, dine on sage and prosciutto-wrapped chicken breast with whipped feta; confit duck leg drizzled with vino cotto jus; or grilled local snapper with a side of organic quinoa salad. Executive chef Kate Lamont is CEO and ambassador for Lamont's (check out her cookbooks). You're welcome to pop in for wine tasting at the adjoined wine store and deli without eating at the restaurant.

  • 7. Settler's Tavern

    $$

    Sometimes you don’t need to dab foams or spread purees across a plate to impress; sometimes you just have to serve up consistently good, hearty fare that fills the belly and doesn’t burn a hole in the pocket. The crowds at this pub are testament to the fact that Settler's got the formula right, be it a thick scotch fillet cooked to perfection or a vegan plate of joy featuring a lentil patty, ratatouille, and brown rice. The awards keep piling in, too. They've been commended for their wine, beer, and hospitality.  The kitchen often closes at 8:30 pm so get there earlier

  • 8. Simmos Ice Creamery and Fun Park

    $

    Simmos has been delighting locals and visitors since 1993 when a father and son teamed up to put their Irish ice-cream recipe to the test. Some people thought they'd gone mad, but now this ice creamery and fun park is a popular excursion for families and sweet tooths. They have so many flavors of ice cream and sorbet that you'll have a difficult time choosing. Past flavors include apple pie, mascarpone with fig, mango macadamia, and gingernut biscuit. They also serve vegan ice cream. There's coffee to go, and—for the kids—a great playground, with games including an 18-hole minigolf course. Bring a blanket to have a picnic in the shady grounds.

    $$$$

    One of the appellation’s grande dames, with its expansive, manicured gardens—featuring more than 1,000 roses—this splendid winery has a restaurant that takes you on a gastronomic journey via a seven-course Discovery Menu that is, naturally, inspired by the wine as well as local, seasonal ingredients. You could call it Margaret River on a plate. There's also the Terroir Menu, a four-course sampling of the best of the region, including produce from the on-site Kitchen Garden. The dining room decor features antique wooden furniture, comfortable wing-back armchairs, and soaring cathedral ceilings.

  • 12. Watershed Winery

    $$$

    This upscale restaurant has impressive modern architecture, from big windows to a wraparound deck that offers uninterrupted views of the vineyard. The seasonal menu, inspired by local produce, may include favorites like local marron and slow-braised lamb shoulder. There's an adjacent café with an enclosed children's playground and an appropriate, cheaper menu that caters to kids but still scores on the flavor scale in a casual setting.

  • 13. Wise Vineyard Restaurant

    $$$ | Australian

    Verdant bushland, manicured vineyards and expansive views all the way down to Geographe Bay are show-stopping features of this modern restaurant. Expect the unexpected and be pleasantly surprised by culinary creations that change with the turning of each season. In keeping, the accent is on the use of fresh, local produce. Look out for house-cured salmon, crunchy edged pork belly with creamed truffle potatoes, or the Amelia Park lamb rack with polenta and pine nuts. The extensive dessert menu is just as appealing, so leave room for sweets. On Friday night, pasta and risotto dishes are featured.
