Located at the top of Margaret River's main street in a newly transformed space, de’sendent is a new intimate refined dining restaurant which opened its doors in January 2024. Owners Ann Spencer and Executive Chef Evan Hayter are behind the project, which is the next incarnation of their previous winery venture Arimia Estate, but distinctly different.
The new 35-seat restaurant was born from the passion and vision behind Arimia Estate, which built a strong reputation for its unwavering dedication to growing and sourcing high-quality, local, organic produce from suppliers who cared deeply for the land. Chef Evan Hayter is deeply passionate about where his ingredients come from - how they’re grown and reared, and ensuring they’re sourced from like-minded producers who share Arimia's values. de’sendent is the evolution of an important story, and represents Evan and Ann's determination to share their dining philosophy with the world. Guests can expect high-end West Australian ingredients including abalone, full-blooded Waygu beef, marron and uni (sea urchin), sourced from passionate, small-batch suppliers. A diverse wine list showcases premium local, national and global wines that complement the calibre of the food.
The name de’sendent signifies the cultivation of a new culinary chapter for business partners Hayter and Spencer, as well as treasured family ties.

Wow wow wow this place was incredible for my 30th birthday dinner. My fiance did an amazing job finding this gem!
The 6 course degustation menu was so carefully curated and some of the best food we’d ever had. The wagyu was our favourite but the pasta dish was also so delicious. The vegetarian dishes were a breath of fresh air. The cauliflower and cheese tart just have a burst of flavours.
Definitely will be coming back next time we come to Margaret River. Dare I say it will easily become one of our favourite restaurants.

Last night had the honour of a lovely well cooked 5 course meal. The service was outstanding and the waiter was excellent kind and knew what he was talking about. The chef was great. The food was outstanding. Me and my partner loved every moment and every bite. The chef went out of his way to make my partners meal allergy friendly and she was very happy

We recently visited De’sendent while we were staying in the area after our wedding and we were blown away by the incredible food, the knowledge of staff and the entire experience itself. We did the 6-course degustation menu with wine pairings and it was just phenomenal. Highly recommend! We will certainly be back.

Absolutely loved this place. They do a fabulous dirty martini. The presentation is as good as the drink! We had the snack menu which was to die for. We ordered one of everything and had second portions of our favourites. I can’t wait to go back for the degustation.
