Perth, Western Australia – Amidst the bustling culinary landscape of Western Australia, where options seem to abound, there’s a hidden gem that beckons to wine aficionados, offering them a haven to indulge in their passion.
As the Western Australian dining scene continues to evolve, Perth’s own self-professed flâneur brings us the latest chapter in the ever-enticing tale of eating, drinking, and dining in this vibrant city.
Renowned chef Brendan Pratt, formerly at the helm of the esteemed Vasse Felix, left food enthusiasts in a state of melancholy when he bid adieu to his celebrated post at the Margaret River winery restaurant. His decision to hang up his apron was driven by a quest for a better work-life balance and the desire to explore new culinary horizons.
Brendan Pratt, however, hasn’t left the food scene entirely. He’s ventured into the world of coffee with his Margaret River coffee business, and now, with his characteristic cheerfulness, Pratt has taken on a consulting role at an exciting new project set to grace Kent Street, Busselton, in December.
This venture is the brainchild of John Parker, the mind behind notable establishments like The Royal Hotel, The Standard Bar, and Dandelion. The eagerly anticipated establishment, named “The Busselton Pavilion,” holds great promise, and Pratt is thrilled to be a part of its creation.
In Pratt’s own words, “I’m helping JP find the right people, particularly in the kitchen, and then helping build a really good culture and a really good menu.” With his culinary expertise and dedication, Pratt aims to ensure that The Busselton Pavilion becomes a beacon of culinary excellence in the region.
Among the exciting additions Pratt has in store for this new venture is a substantial French rotisserie, which is currently en route to Busselton. This addition promises to elevate the dining experience and add a touch of gourmet flair to The Busselton Pavilion.
Perth’s culinary landscape continues to evolve, with Brendan Pratt’s involvement in The Busselton Pavilion marking yet another exciting chapter in the city’s gastronomic journey. Wine enthusiasts and food lovers alike can look forward to this new destination, where exceptional cuisine and a vibrant culinary culture are set to thrive.
