Local Flavours

Whether you're exploring the rugged outback or enjoying the ambience of a South West winery, you're bound to encounter the exotic flavours of Western Australia.

Our regions are as distinctive in their produce as they are in landscape, satisfing all palates.

Something for the Sweet Tooth and Savoury Lover

Chocolate Truffles, Courtesy of Margaret River Chocolate CompanyTake a trip to Experience Perth's Swan Valley and Margaret River in the South West region for delicious Western Australian-made chocolate, cheese and icecream - impossible to resist.

Visitors are given the chance to sample their heavenly treats, so delve in and enjoy.

And if crusty bread and flavoursome olive oil appeal, visit Margaret River or the monastic town of New Norcia - or just head for the nearest continental deli, which is sure to stock these popular locally made products.


Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Adventurous diners will be thrilled to discover that crocodile, kangaroo and emu are found on many Western Australian restaurant menus.

Or join a bush tucker tour for a taste of true Australiana, where you can sample some of the naturally occurring foods that Aboriginal people have gathered and survived on for thousands of years.


An Endless Seafood Feast

Crayfish feast, Abrolhos IslandsThere's a never-ending supply of succulent seafood in Western Australian waters. From the North West region to Esperance on the south eastern shores, find everything from rock lobsters, prawns and sardines to marron, trout and barramundi.

Tantalise your tastebuds at any of the State's fantastic seafood restaurants or buy fresh from the fish markets in Perth or Fremantle, and "toss another shrimp on the barbie" at a park or picnic spot.


Juicy fruits and Seafood Garden-Fresh Vegetables

Tempting treats of the fruit and vegetable variety abound right across the state - so indulge to your heart's content and feel good about it.

Food at the Watershed, Margaret RiverTropical fruits prevail in the warmer climates of the Coral Coast and North West regions, where sweet papaya, mangoes and bananas thrive.

"Mango madness" hits Broome and Kununurra each November, so join the locals in soaking up the syrupy juices.

You'll find seasonal berries, peaches and other stone fruits in the cooler southern regions of Western Australia, where you can also enjoy fruit preserves, jams and wines.

Every kind of produce from asparagus to zucchini is grown in the extremely fertile area near the Ord River dam in the North West region and along the Gascoyne River at Carnarvon in the Coral Coast region.
