Oakover winery and restaurant, swan valley

Gorgeous day today so hubby and i wanted to make the most of it. First stop was oakover winery for lunch. Hubby ordered the steak, potato rosti and brocollini, I ordered the fish with herb bread crumb and potato mash. I wolfed down my lunch very quickly coz I was so hungry. We were going to have a baci chocolate cake for dessert but they ran out :(. Over all great meal, would come back again, also good value if you use your entertainment card at 25% discount.

Oakover Winery & Restaurant, Swan Valley

In early September we celebrated a small Santa girls renunion together with Father's Day at Oakover Winery in the Swan Valley. At first i had mixed feelings about the place, only because i am not a big fan of their wines. But .... you cant judge the food based on the wine right?
However when the food finally came along, we were all very happy - the aroma of the garlic bread and generosity of portions soon made us shut up and eat up.
Here are the different dishes we sampled that day - in no particular order.
(i can't seem to manipulate the pics on blogger so easily).

Miss M's fish, was light and cooked perfectly. The skin was delicously crispy, i'll have to come back and try that next time.

This was my beef cheek with snow peas and salad with truffle oil.
The beef cheeks were amazingly tender and gelatinous, the mushroom sauce could have used a little more seasoning (bit bland). However i couldnt taste the truffle oil, i guess that was my first time - so maybe i didnt know what flavour to look for. (and i think i ate my beef too quickly and i probably missed all the delicate flavours - woops)

Ms J's chicken with sweet potato mash - another delicious dish.

the entree: home made bread with a trio of dips.

1. olive oil and balsamic vinegar

2. olive tapenade

3. capsicum salsa (i forgot!)

the yummy garlic bread with parmesan cheese and mustard seeds for a twist.

Overall we were all very happy with the meals. It was an amazing package deal for Father's day.

3 courses for $35 - which is very reasonable for perth. (no alcohol - we dont really drink anyways)

The only let down was the dessert. I had an apple pie with ice cream - which was not a good choice the strawberry cheesecake was much better.

more food blogs to come. watch this space!
