Flutes Restaurant

Luncheon At The Winery

Set in the beautiful natural surrounds of Brookland Valley Vineyard, Flutes Restaurant offers innovative menus, impeccable service and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Lunch at Flutes involves a menu that continually changes in order to take advantage of the fresh local produce. Executive Chef Francois Morvan brings a curious blend of French background and the quasi-tropical nature of Broome to the premier wine-growing region of Margaret River.

The focus of Flutes has always been the provision of good food, good wine, and a relaxed ambience. We are confident of offering great food, great wine courtesy of Brookland Valley Vineyard, and friendly, knowledgeable service to our international and domestic clientele.

Dinner at Flutes for 10 people or more exclusively.

Intimate, romantic, candlelit, offering glimpses of Brookland Valley Vineyard - dinner at Flutes is an experience not to be missed.

Arrive early and indulge in a glass of something sparkling on the deck, before moving through to a menu comprising hand-selected, signature dishes, and the selection of many current and archive wines.

Finish with a locally blended and roasted coffee, and our infamous almond & raisin chocolates.

  • Flutes Restaurant at the Brookland Valley Vineyard was the perfect place to spend our relaxed Easter Saturday lunch in Margaret River. The weather was beautiful! A soft cool breeze and a magical sunny blue sky made it the perfect day to be seated on the deck overlooking the water with views of the wild birds and swans. I was definitely impressed (and we had only just sat down) and thus knew that we would be in for a treat!

  • Flutes is usually a favourite lunch spot for us whenever we are in the South West. This time did not disappoint us. The last time we were there was prior to a refurbishment and I remembered being rather disappointed by the food. We had lamb shanks done with a Middle Eastern influence with dates and oranges on Israeli cous cous. It was divine, the tender meat literally falling off the bone in gelatinous sticky chunks. Another relative ordered the beef cheeks and it was a robust flavoured dish, you could really taste the wine used in cooking it. The meat was so tender, my son relished it (he normally will only eat meat off a stick, novelty factor). My husband ordered the duck risotto. It was tasty, creamy without being over rich, the duck was tender without being gamey. It is a dish for people for huge appetites as it was really filling. Others on our table ordered the fettuccine with prawns and were very pleased with their dish. Our children had lamb French chops on mash. My son ate up all his mash but did not touch the chops. They were too hard for him so he ate the meat off my shanks and some of the beef cheek and as usual, us parents ended up eating his chops!! Our relatives from abroad enjoyed the atmosphere. Unfortunately, this is one place that is not suitable for very active children under 5 years of age.

    A waiter trying to relate to my brother and his wife who were childless made a rather snide comment about "children, who would have them” which rather offended me who overheard him. We shrugged it off but this added a sour note to our enjoyment of our meal.

  • Flutes should be up there with other award winning restaurants and I am surprised that they aren’t. Last time we were there, more than 4 years ago, we had a table outside on the deck and were delighted with the food and the lovely views afforded from the restaurant overlooking the lake. This time around, equally serene views as before although we dined inside but the food was even more impressive. Like most wineries, the menu was somewhat limited but every order was of the highest quality and well presented.

    Our group had fettuccini (entrée: $18, main: $32), duck risotto ($25), lamb shank ($28) and beef cheeks ($28). The portions were surprisingly larger than other wineries and everyone kept going on about how good their dish tasted. Hubby had the beef cheeks which literally melted in the mouth ! It was simply superb. I had the entrée size fettuccini with prawns and pine nuts atop a bed of spinach which was really, really scrumptious and a generous serve. Kids had lamb chops with mash ($12) with 2 good size chops and was definitely the odd selection from the other normal kids choices.

    This is a future must for us if ever we were to do down south that way.

  • We had lunch here on a Wednesday.

    I ordered the game plate - which I wasn't overly impressed with but I think I just chose something I didn't feel like at the time, because it was very good quality. My husband had the marron, salmon and barramundi and it was absolutely exquisite. We washed it all down with a bottle of their Verse 1 Rose which was delicate in flavour and a perfect lunch wine.

    The only problem I had was the drinking water. They had bottled water on offer, but I'm generally happy with tap if it's available. Their tap water was awful. It tasted like it had been scooped straight out of the Margaret River, although the waitress said it was filtered.

    Aside from the water issue, we had a great time.

    One member of our party said that she was a little bit put out by the slow delivery of our meals; however I preferred the long, leisurely lunch feel of the afternoon. It was very relaxing.

    Overall, I found Flutes to be just as good as it used to be and the wine is sensational too. If you can use the Entertainment card you'll be even happier - we saved $55!

  • If you happen to be on Caves Road, especially mid-week, and looking for that long, lingering romantic lunch, you could do worse than Brookland Valley's Flutes restaurant. Insist on a table on the balcony over the dam (weather permitting, of course) and let yourself sink back and relax.......

    .... it's peaceful, the menu is comprehensive and imaginative (go the quail!) and start off with a glass each of the house sparkling brut. Click the glasses together, and allow the tranquillity to seep in. The service is unobtrusive, and the food is most satisfying......

    .....except on long weekends, when you need to book first, or your dream will be shattered. I'm sure the food, service and ambience (well, maybe not the ambience) were fine - but we couldn't get a table to find out!~

    I'm fond of this place, and it's got a long-term reputation. Give it a try.
