polly & the people
Message from the Hon Roger Cook MLA Deputy Premier
Minister for Tourism Welcome to Western Australia and the 32nd edition of Menu Magazine.
F
or more than 15 years, Menu Magazine has provided locals and visitors with an insight into some of WA’s best restaurants, cafes, bars and culinary experiences; highlighting the latest trends and new products in the State’s thriving food and beverage scene. In this edition, Menu features Oktoberfest, botanicals, refurbished historical buildings, WA Cheese Week; as well as regular articles on design, wine, products, education and events. An impressive range of culinary adventures await in Australia’s largest State, with a variety of landscapes from the pristine white or ochre-coloured sands and azure blue waters of the north, to the rolling green hills and tall tree forests of the south. Perth’s hospitality offering continues to grow, with Australia’s sunniest capital city
welcoming a raft of new openings in recent times. This includes the latest addition to the city-fringing hub of Mount Lawley, The Beaufort, a state-of-the-art hospitality venue set over three levels. Delights of the famed Margaret River region have become even more accessible to east coast travellers, with Jetstar’s direct flights between Melbourne and Busselton having launched in April. Holiday-makers can savour the region’s pleasures, including its award-winning wines, delectable local produce, stunning coastline, lush forests and underground cave systems.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Menu Magazine and that it inspires you to discover more of WA’s exceptional food and wine.
HON ROGER COOK MLA DEPUTY PREMIER MINISTER FOR TOURISM
Further cementing the west coast as a top holiday choice, an impressive selection of WA operators received national recognition at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards 2022, including Live Ningaloo, Fremantle Prison and Tree Chalets taking home Gold in its respective categories.
