The Old Fig Tree Restaurant

Best Known For

Tender braised lamb shank, sweet potato mash and seasonal vegetables.

Friends and good food come together at The Old Fig Tree Restaurant on Benara Road in Caversham. Bordering the Swan Valley wine region, guests enjoy a tranquil setting both inside and out, while sipping a Chardonnay and contemplating a menu brimming with Mod Oz fare with flair. In cooler months, the courtyard fire beckons as much as the morsels on offer, like plump drunken prawns, macerated in wine, garlic and lemon, served in a cream reduction with steamed rice. Those with heartier appetites may opt for hickory smoked beef brisket, smashed potatoes, sour cream, buttered corn on the cobb, seasonal vegetables and smoked gravy; or Scotch fillet, cooked your way with roast potatoes, broccolini, vegetables and pepper sauce. Pasta lovers may opt for puttanesca pappardelle with Napolitana sauce.
