RiverBank Estate
Editorial
A countryside retreat hides amongst the twisted vines and lush hills of the tranquil Swan Valley, only 20 minutes from the Perth CBD. Abundant with wineries and galleries, it is one of Perth's most prized tourist destinations. RiverBank Estate is the best of them all.
RiverBank Estate has its own unique character which resonates from the pleasant country charm. Natural light gives the beautiful restaurant a fresh and airy feeling while the al fresco areas and wide verandas treat diners to views of the vineyards and Swan River beyond. The casual atmosphere of RiverBank leaves diners with a relaxed, post-holiday feeling as staff ensure they experience all the magnificent qualities of the estate's restaurant.
Executive chef Frederick Kirby draws from many years of travel and culinary experience to create his award-winning cuisine, inspired by the region's abundant organic produce. To try a perfect marriage of the estate's wines to Kirby's culinary creations, order the gourmet tasting boards that comprise of three dishes designed especially to be enjoyed with the vino. If you have the pleasure of lengthy free time, prepare yourself for some gastronomic delights. Entrées commence the memorable experience with dishes such as RiverBank cured bresaola, ham hock terrine or the tart of confit Roma tomatoes and caramelised red onions. A meal that captivates attention is the grilled fish fillet crusted with white raisins and capers, balancing atop salted cod mash that is surrounded by red wine fumet, and complemented with braised fennel and a delicate tempura oyster. The roast quail envelops herb stuffing and absorbs the sharp flavours of its prosciutto wrapping making it a dish of earthy yet sophisticated flavours.
With innovative cuisine of this calibre, RiverBank Estate serves dishes that are edged with country comfort all accentuated by the stunning vineyard views and the unique wine.
