Went there to celebrate a special birthday because friends had recommended it, but the experience was not as expected or as recommended. The dish I ordered was loaded with salt and not worth the money, but the sweets were delicious. The place is over-rated.

The grounds are fantastic and the relaxed, natural tranquility of the restaurant begins to develop during the very drive to the property. The food is a hearty traditional French and though I'd have liked to see some modern innovation, the simplicity of the meals combined with the excellent palet (not to mention the beautifully aromatic matched wines) made for an...

Absolutely brilliant French food by a Michelin rated chef..but booking essential well in advance..it's up in the hills so not easy to reach but well worth it once in a blue moo...not more often, as the costs are pretty steep

Its taken us quite a few years to finally visit this eatery with such a great reputation so we were keen to say the least. Overall the food was a good standard. Our main criticism was that if you werent a huge sea food or snail fan the only option to change was a vegetarian option. For 160 bucks a... More

I heard with great dismay that the Loose Box is closing. Alain Fabregues is deservedly retiring but it spells the end to a Perth Icon. Alain is an adopted Perth treasure. If you can get a table before he goes do it. Just wonderful french cuisine. I wont go into depth on the menu etc just know that I have... More

The Loose Box has had a good name for food pretty much ever since it first opened it's doors, I have to admit that although it did have a good reputation, I was not holding high hopes for our night out there, this I put down to having been to so many places that have had great reviews, only to...

I was recently treated to lunch at Loose Box, Mundaring with my son. We were treated to an awesome degustation of exquisite tastes and mmmmmmm food delights. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were pleasant and helpful. It was really a meal to remember. What a pity this iconic restaurant may soon close.

Our children gave us a voucher for overnight accommodation, degustation dinner and wine match ($895) and we were so looking forward to our special evening. How wrong we were!! It started to sour right from checking in when we were greeted with the news that if we did want to have the accommodation, dinner and wine match (as highlighted on... More

As you know it's not cheap but if you want to spoil yourself you won't be disappointed. We stayed in a cottage and the breakfast was incredible as well.

My wife and I have previously had a pleasant dining experience at this establishment and were given a gift treat to go again. We duly booked and fronted up for our already paid for degustation and matching wine. It was all quite pleasant though less than perfect to be right under the air conditioning outlet and speaker. Both the vent... More
