Fine dining in the Perth Hills
The destination justifies the journey!
The Lounge, set within the private award-winning luxurious getaway Amaroo Retreat and Spa, is perhaps Perth’s finest dining experience in the hills.
Situated only 40 mins from the CBD on a vast 52 acres across Mount Helena, Amaroo offers visitors a unique experience nestled amongst local flora and fauna and the complete beauty and refreshment of native bushland.
While Perth offers no shortage of choice in its fine dining and high–class bar scenes, no other establishment presents quite the experience The Lounge does.
With exceptional service, The Lounge presents three course meals created by world class chefs from the finest ingredients sustainably and responsibly sourced locally and abroad to suit any palate – including vegan, vegetarian and dairy and gluten free.
Reward yourself with a cocktail from our bartender mixologists, or choose from our extensive international drinks menu of wine, beer and spirits.
And with a tranquillity in its setting that any city location simply cannot match.
For any venue, people come for the cuisine.
They stay for the ambience.
But they return for the experience.
They return for the complete array; the venue and the style, the sights, the sounds and the open spaces of the locale.
They return for the environment as a whole; the very surrounds of the vicinity in its entirety – not just the menu, the service and any created or manufactured atmosphere.
Sometimes, it’s not about the journey, but the destination.
But if the journey from the metro area is a bridge too far for breakfast, lunch or dinner, make a day, night – or even a weekend of it – and stay in one of our luxury chalets or take advantage of our day spa facilities.
For your next occasion, event or function visit the The Lounge at Amaroo – you too will return!

It might seem completely out of character for a well-known restaurant to announce this…but The Lounge at Amaroo is supporting Dry July!
This doesn’t mean we have stopped serving alcohol, no chance. But it does mean that we are endorsing the Dry July message and encouraging others to consider the socialising without alcohol – even just temporarily!
What is Dry July
You may have heard about it but not really known what it is all about. Dry July is a fundraiser that encourages you to go alcohol-free in July to raise funds for people affected by cancer. Dry July has been running for many years and participants will agree to stop drinking alcohol for the month of July and get their family and friends to support them with donations, which then supports several different cancer-related foundations.
Why do we support Dry July
Aside from the fundraising aspect of Dry July, there are other reasons why we are getting behind a month without alcohol.
Having a month off alcohol has great health benefits, such as sleeping better, having more energy and of course, no hangovers. Your body has a chance to de-tox, and you may find that without alcohol, you feel fresher, healthier, and may lose weight.
It also gives us a chance to explore other options in our social life. So many activities are focused on drinking, so when you take the alcohol element out for a while, you are forced to try new things. And this can be the best change you have ever made! You may enjoy new social activities that you haven’t tried before, plus you’ll be able to focus your attention on other things when you’re out – and you may just find a new appreciation for different food!
Taste the food, not the drinks!
The Lounge at Amaroo is recognised as the best restaurant in the Perth Hills, and we are proud of our selection of fine wines, spirits, and cocktails we offer.
But we are even more proud of our food!
During Dry July, we encourage you to visit The Lounge at Amaroo and let your tastebuds explore all we have to offer on our extensive menu. Our menu covers all tastes and dietary requirements, and each dish is meticulously created to be a unique taste sensation. Experience the flavours of the food this Dry July.
Book a table
The Lounge at Amaroo is the best restaurant in the Perth hills and is known for not only for its menu but for the atmosphere and location within the stunning Amaroo Retreat and Spa. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or are simply looking for a dining experience that offers something extra, The Lounge at Amaroo is the place to be!

With the dreary winter weather upon us, you can be forgiven for feeling a little gloomy and lacking the desire to go out and do anything. But this is the exact reason why you NEED to celebrate Christmas in July this year and lift your spirits this winter.
The Lounge at Amaroo have a special Christmas in July celebration planned this year, and we would love you to come along!
Why do we celebrate Christmas in July?
Christmas in July is not nearly as big as the December Christmas period, but it’s still a great excuse to celebrate! Christmas in July is becoming more popular in Australia as our population becomes more diverse. Australia has British and European heritage, and as such there is a strong attachment to the tradition of celebrating Christmas in cold weather.
July is generally the coldest month of winter in Australia and so it makes sense to have a second Christmas celebration to allow Australians to experience the northern hemisphere style Christmas. Cold weather, winter clothes, hearty foods, roast dinners, and warm drinks in front of fireplaces and bonfires, just like Christmas back home.
Australians have grown up singing Christmas carols about “dashing through the snow”, so why not get onboard with a winter Christmas and enjoy the experience!
A Christmas Feast!
The Lounge at Amaroo are taking Christmas in July celebrations to the next level with one of the most exciting menus on offer!
Our Christmas in July event is for one day only, and you’ll need to make your booking in advance so that you don’t miss out. You can choose from a 2-course or 3-course meal, and with so much on offer, you won’t be disappointed!
Start with a delectable entrée of whipped goat’s cheese with honey, pomegranate, and charred baguette; spicy grilled prawns with mango, fresh herbs and pistachios; or the heavenly sous vide beef, sliced and topped with mushrooms, almonds, and jus.
Your main course comes with four choices, and each selection has been carefully created to really give that festive experience.
If it’s a traditional roast you’re looking for, our rolled turkey breast comes stuffed with sage and onion, and is served with all the trimmings, plus Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Or there’s our herb-crusted rack of lamb which is served with truffle mash potato, greens, and mint and rosemary jus. Also on offer is pan-seared barramundi with cauliflower gratin, greens, and fresh herbs; or for a vegetarian choice we have ricotta gnocchi with pumpkin and burnt sage butter.
Top off your meal with a tantalising dessert! An Aussie Christmas favourite, our pavlova is served with fresh cream, berries, chocolate shavings and berry coulis. But if you’re going for the full winter Christmas experience, you can’t go past our traditional Christmas pudding with brandy anglaise and broken meringue. Our dessert menu also offers seasonal fruit with sorbet and spun sugar.
The Lounge at Amaroo has a dazzling selection of wines and spirits to accompany your meal, and our cocktail bar is open to really make your Christmas in July feast that little more spectacular!
Good friends and food around the fireplace!
Grab some friends and head to the Christmas in July celebration at The Lounge at Amaroo to be held on Sunday 24th July. You can choose the lunch session from 12-3pm, or dinner from 5pm – late. 2-course option is $65 per head, or 3-course options is $75. Bookings are essential and can be made at reservations@amarooretreat.com.au Visit our website amarooretreat.com.au for more information.

The Lounge at Amaroo is one of Perth’s best kept secrets – but not for much longer!
People are starting to talk about the best restaurant in the Perth hills as more and more people are discovering the Lounge at Amaroo. And who better to sing our praises than the people who have experienced it for themselves!
We’ve spoken to some of our customers to get their feedback on why they think The Lounge at Amaroo is the best restaurant in the Perth hills.
The most romantic spot he could have chosen
Ella and Ryan are one of many happy couples who got engaged at The Lounge at Amaroo. Here’s Ella’s story:
“It was so romantic! Ryan had it planned for ages, he’d bought the ring and booked the restaurant and told me to dress up nice for something special. I’d never been here before, and Ryan chose this place because it’s just the perfect romantic setting. We had a table near a big window, and we were looking out over the bush while we had our dinner, and Ryan waited until we’d gotten our desserts before he got down on one knee and proposed! He’d even planned for staff to be taking videos and photos for us which was awesome!
Ryan and I are real outdoorsy people, so being at this amazing restaurant that’s hidden in the bush was perfect for us. Now I’m thinking of having our wedding here too! By far the most romantic night of my life!”
Peaceful and tranquil for a family lunch
Amanda recently booked a table at The Lounge at Amaroo for her mum’s 80th birthday celebrations. Amanda’s mum Carol hadn’t been well in the lead up to her big day, and Amanda wanted a place for lunch that was special enough for the big day, but that wasn’t too overwhelming.
“I am so glad we chose this restaurant; it was the best option for Mum’s birthday. We didn’t want to go into the city and deal with traffic and noise, but we wanted somewhere that had amazing food and the right atmosphere. The Lounge at Amaroo was just perfect.
Mum sat at the head of the table and was treated like royalty by the amazing staff, which is exactly what we wanted for her day. The food was perfection, we had some nice wines, and got to take in the views of the hills and the bush. Mum was a bit in awe of the restaurant, she agreed we picked the perfect place especially after we went for a bit of a walk around the grounds after our lunch. Thanks to all the staff who helped make Mum’s day amazing!”
Relaxing and romantic, a great spot to reconnect
Gavin recently brought his beautiful wife Erin to The Lounge at Amaroo not for any special occasion, but just to show her how much he appreciated her!
“We have a baby who is just six months old, and Erin hardly ever goes out and never gets any time without him, so I decided to do something special for her. Having a baby is hard on any couple and I thought it would be good to get her out of the house, leave the baby with my sister, and come out for a nice romantic dinner.
Erin thought it was great! She got to dress up nice and have a few hours without the baby so that we could just talk and have a proper date night. We chose The Lounge at Amaroo because we wanted somewhere that was relaxing, and because the menu looked awesome. The food was great, and the evening was perfect. So, if anyone is looking for the perfect restaurant for a romantic date night, this is it!”
