Restaurant Overview - China City Garden Restaurant




Located in the main street of Bunbury in Western Australia's south west China City Garden Restaurant has a casual, cheery atmosphere. 

We dined in as 4 adults and 3 kids, aged 17, 15, 12 who all sport an exceptionally healthy appetite. The menu is extensive and includes all of the typical Australian Chinese dishes along with some interesting Thai and Malaysian specialities like Tom Yum Goong and Mee Goreng.

We ordered the ol favourites sweet and sour pork, honey chicken, beef and black bean plus spicy squid, satay prawns, sizzling lamb, fried and steamed rice. Oh yes entrees included a great short soup with deluxe wontons, spring rolls and steamed dim sims.

It was BYO so we enjoyed a bottle of Adelaide Hills, Pentaluma Chardonnay 2007 and a riesling we can't remember! Hope to fill in later! Oh yes it was a Tasmanian, Stefano Lubiana Riesling 2006.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a cheap and cheery evening with good quality Australian style Asian Cuisine.

Restaurant Overview - Cullen Winery - Margaret River
















My partner is in the wine industry (lucky, lucky me!), so as part of his day to day work he visits his customers many who are wine makers, grape growers, vineyard and winery owners and workers throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Many of the wonderful Margaret River Wineries boast spectacular restaurants which take great care in presenting top quality food to match their unique wine styles.  One of our favourites:

Cullen Winery
Caves Road, Margaret River, Western Australia

You can feel the sense of life as soon as you enter the Cullen Estate. The vineyards are grown using biodynamic techniques and have “A” Grade Organic Certification with the BFA which is portrayed in the lush, healthy surroundings.

The restaurant is set amongst the vineyard and in keeping with the organic philosophy in the vineyard, all dishes are prepared using fresh, organic produce that is sourced from their own "Jamie Oliver" style garden and select local producers. 

The menu is adjusted seasonally to ensure only the freshest produce is served. Those with special dietary requirements will be excited by the many gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options but generally the menu and is guaranteed to delight any tastes.
