Why This Yallingup Restaurant is Becoming a Seafood Lover's Pilgrimage
There's something special happening at Lagoon Yallingup. While Perth's dining scene continues to evolve, this South West gem has quietly crafted one of Western Australia's most impressive seafood experiences. For those of us who appreciate pristine protein in its purest form, it's time to put this venue on your radar.
Forget heavy sauces and unnecessary flourishes - Lagoon understands that premium seafood speaks for itself. Their raw bar offerings set the tone for what's to come: Albany Rock Oysters that taste like the ocean itself, and a tuna tartare that showcases the clean, pure flavors of the fish. Even the presentation is refreshingly understated, letting the quality of their ingredients take center stage.
The menu reads like a love letter to Western Australian seafood. Abrolhos Island Scallops arrive plump and sweet, while the Rankin Cod fillet demonstrates why our local fish is among the world's finest. What's particularly impressive is the kitchen's willingness to modify dishes for those seeking cleaner, simpler preparations. Want that octopus without the gremolata? Just ask. Need your fish simply grilled? They get it.
Their 'Feed Me' menu has become something of a local legend. At $90 per person for four courses designed to share, it's a journey through the best their kitchen has to offer. The best part? They're happy to tailor it to suit protein-focused preferences - just mention your dietary requirements when booking.
For those who like to take control of their own culinary destiny, the Seafood Assiette for two offers a carefully curated selection of their finest offerings. It's a masterclass in seafood preparation, from the delicate handling of raw elements to the perfectly cooked hot selections.
What sets Lagoon apart isn't just their premium ingredients - it's their understanding that sometimes less is more. In an era where many venues feel compelled to complicate their dishes, Lagoon's confidence in letting quality seafood shine is refreshing. Their confit mussel and white anchovy in oil, for example, delivers more flavor and satisfaction than many more complex dishes you'll find elsewhere.
The space itself mirrors this philosophy - clean, coastal elegance that complements rather than competes with what's on the plate. The service strikes that perfect balance between knowledgeable and approachable, with staff who can speak confidently about their seafood sourcing and preparation methods.
As with any venue focusing on premium seafood, booking ahead is essential - particularly for dinner service. If you're making the trip (and you should), it's worth mentioning any dietary preferences when booking. The kitchen appreciates the heads-up and can often prepare something special for those seeking cleaner protein options.
In a dining landscape that often prioritizes trends over substance, Lagoon stands out by simply focusing on what matters: exceptional seafood, handled with respect and served with understated confidence. For those of us seeking premium protein in its purest form, this Yallingup venue isn't just worth the drive - it's worth planning your weekend around.
