Any Perth local who considers themself to be a ‘foodie’ would be familiar with the work and success of the Lamont family. Beginning with a humble winery in Perth’s Swan Valley in the seventies, Corin and Neil Lamont set the standard for producing full flavoured wines to accompany delectable food. More than 30 years on, sisters Kate and Fiona Lamont now oversee the running of a 10,000 case winery, two cellar doors and three very successful restaurants located in Yallingup, Swan Valley and East Perth. The latter overlooks the tranquil yet cosmopolitan scenery of Claisebrook Inlet and the menu is just as you’d expect from an operator of this calibre. It features carefully selected, uncomplicated fare and only utilising the freshest of produce.
Of course the menu is changed seasonally, giving regular Lamont’s fans good reason to visit at least four times a year. The current menu (autumn 2008) is nothing short of mouth watering with dishes like grilled quail and crisp eggplant with pine nut and currant dressing and the roast field mushroom, confit beetroot and Italian prosciutto all displaying Kate’s commitment to fresh produce. Being a sucker for good home-made pasta with a rich, hearty sauce my knees went weak when I saw the confit duck pappardelle with smoked duck breast. Desserts are also a great specialty of Kate’s, as is her flair for wine matching. The Turkish delight meringue with mascarpone cream and the profiteroles with vanilla bean ice-cream both come highly recommended by me and my insatiable tastebuds. Make sure you go to Lamont’s with a big appetite and plenty of time to enjoy a truly memorable meal.
