Bluewater Grill
Editorial
Perched high above the beautiful Swan River foreshore and surrounded by manicured gardens, the historic venue and views from Bluewater Grill are breathtaking enough without so much as a glimpse of the menu. This multiple award-winning restaurant is the handiwork of the talented Chris Taylor who is also the brains behind Frasers in Kings Park, The Old Brewery and Indiana Restaurant in Cottesloe. Each of these venues has unique qualities and Bluewater Grill is no exception. Using the freshest Western Australian produce and offering diners the very best in service, this venue is a must for special occasions or an intimate dinner for two.
Oysters naturale are always a great way to begin a romantic meal and with dressings like salmon roe, sour cream and citrus vodka, you'll be off to a flying start if you're trying to impress your date. Hoping he or she is as adventurous as I am when it comes to food, you could follow with the Range Valley beef carpaccio with lemon aioli and chickpea fries. By now your date's eyebrows should be suitably raised as they realise what an amazing restaurant you have brought them to. Just wait until you see their reaction when the seafood plate arrives. Designed to share, the plate features fresh Manjimup marron, pan-fried and beer-battered fish fillet, seared scallops, peppered cuttlefish, chilled tiger prawns, smoked salmon and yes, more oysters! If you're ready for something different after all this seafood, there's a lovely roast lamb rack with eggplant moussaka or the lighter option of herb roasted free-range chicken. Needless to say, there are plenty of other dishes on the menu including prime cuts from the grill but if you're vying for a second date, the more oysters the better!
