REVIEW
A day trip to this Instagram-ready cellar-door restaurant in the Perth Hills remains one of the west’s finest lunch dates. Best of all, it’s an excursion that can be enjoyed by all – young and old, omnivore or vegan – as demonstrated by the diverse crowd that brings this spacious first-floor dining room to life. This isn’t the place to book if you want avant-garde cooking or out-there combinations. Instead, high-definition estate fruit and veg cast in comforting, largely European-style dishes are the kitchen’s calling cards. A sauce of fermented plums goes great guns with grilled quail, while multi-coloured roasted beetroot brings sweetness to braised lentils. Creamed greens with a duck-egg Polonaise shares billing with hearty roasted pork belly. Desserts in the vein of hefty parfait slabs with granola and calamansi granita exemplify Millbrook’s amicable style of hospitality, as do chipper staff, beaut views and easy-drinking wines.
