Sure, we might be biased, but when it comes to produce, the west really is best. Whipped up in a growing ensemble of neighbourhood wine bars, heavy-hitting fine diners, and sky high restaurants, Perth's farm fresh local meat and veg make every dish sing.
With a century of experience delivering WA beef up their sleeve, Harvey Beef have just added another premium range to their repertoire—the 100-day grain-fed Harvey Beef Reserve. Straight from the world class feeding facility in Koojan Downs to your plate at a slew of Perth’s hottest restaurants, this locally produced beef is tasty, tender and free of hormonal growth promotants.
Here’s where to try the new range in Perth right now.
Le Rebelle
Mount Lawley
Elevated bistro and European wine bar Le Rebelle is worth the trip to Mount Lawley. Dreamed up by Perth hospo veterans Sarah and Liam Atkinson, the romantic spot screams date night. Here, expect large helpings of homestyle French dishes—including a 100-day grain-fed Western Australian beef fillet with spinach and bordelaise sauce. A classic French meal, Harvey Beef Reserve's perfectly marbled and fatty meat helps make this a tender steak and veg dish done right.
Santini Bar And Grill
Perth
Hit the Mediterranean coast at vibrant Santini Bar and Grill, where authentic Italian dishes are reinvigorated with fresh WA produce. Watch head chefs Nic Wood and Dario Pompucci bring your dishes to life in the restaurant’s open-plan kitchen as you sit back and experience a taste of la dolce vita. Order the juicy QT Rib Eye with primo 350g 100-day grain fed Harvey Beef Reserve, paired with simple anchovy and lemon butter for a simple meal executed to perfection.
Dandelion
Karrinyup
Book your next date night at Dandelion, where warm and rustic interiors accompany woodfired Asian-style dining. Nestled among West Deck in Karrinyup, this multi-level venue comes from the same crew who brought us The Standard, The Royal and Fleur. Tuck into Szechuan beef carpaccio—Chef Matt Payne’s exclusive summery twist on Vietnamese pho. Inspired by a recent trip to Vietnam spent in sweltering humidity, the innovative dish pairs quality Harvey Beef Reserve striploin with peppercorn marinade, rice noodles, fresh herbs, nuoc cham and peanut sambal.
Wildflower
Perth
Overlooking the Swan River in COMO Treasury Perth, Wildflower offers a quintessentially WA experience and a menu guided by the Noongar seasons of the Indigenous calendar. Be sure to order Chef Michael D’Adamo’s Harvey Beef Reserve fillet with cauliflower puree, black garlic, bonito and a beef reduction—a refined spin on the classic surf and turf. Pair the rich and smoky dish with one of Wildflower’s locally-sourced wines for the ultimate dinner.
Post
Perth
Nestled among COMO Treasury Perth’s dining precinct, Post is an airy, contemporary bar where good food and good wine reign supreme. Stop by for simple Italian dishes packed with high-quality local ingredients. Share a dish of their 1kg T-bone Harvey Beef Reserve grain-fed Bistecca with spinach, snow peas, triple-cooked potatoes and punchy pepper sauce. Make sure to leave room for dessert and order the tiramisu covered with marsala zabaione.
Long Chim
Perth
Translating to ‘come and taste’, Long Chim brings Bangkok’s in-your-face flavours to COMO Treasury Perth. Feast under colourful outdoor parasols or inside among the open-brick historic State Buildings where—under the guidance of David Thompson—Chef Welly Yuan serves his own twist on Thai beef salad. Served off the a-la-carte menu, Harvey Beef Reserve grain-fed rump is paired with shallots, fresh mint, Vietnamese mint, spring onions with white sticky rice and a zesty and sweet sauce on the side.
