El Questro Homestead Restaurant
At El Questro Homestead, food and wine are as much an attraction as the wild country that envelopes the property. Every meal is brimming with ingredients of superb pedigree and quality, leaving guests to forget that 3500 kilometers of rock and desert lies between the Kimberley and Perth. The neighboring Ord River Valley nurtures growers who provide a vast array of tropical and organic produce, supplemented by the abundant riches of Western Australia’s coastlines and paddocks. The chef’s spirit of generosity is always evident, as in the hand crafted fare and bountiful flourishes, combined in simple preparations that allow the flavors to shine.
