Yarri

How great is it when high expectations are exceeded?!! This is our experience at Yarri’s. I’m the sort of guy that (time permitting) will research a lot before committing to a special meal out. And a month ago when looking for fine dining experiences in the Margaret River region, Yarri’s popped up. Aaron Carr has impeccable credentials, and we’ve eaten at Vasse Felix quite a few years ago and were well impressed, so when we couldn’t get a confirmed booking at Miki’s in Margs River, I was very pleased to get a lunch booking at Yarri’s. Decor, ambience, crockery, glassware 5/5. Very relaxed, casual and classy. Our hostess, Sal, (give yourself a well deserved pat on the back - or treat yourself to your favourite cocktail 😉) - as a business partner, was warm, welcoming and instantly put you at ease, making us feel like good friends. My family still think I’m a bit queer, but I love using people’s names when I’m out dining, and I applaud the way you made a point of using our names when addressing us ☺️ - it’s the little things! When I book a fine dining experience, as a passionate chef, I tend to have high expectations, and it’s very seldom that I’m disappointed. What I hope for is an experience that surpasses my own skill levels, and today Yarri’s did that for me. Upon reading the menu several days ago, my wife - bless her - was a little sceptical. “I’m not a fan of beef. Peanut butter and jelly??!!” Relax, I assure her, ‘trust the chef’ I say. And sure enough, you guys came through and well and truly delivered the goods. Sal, thank you so much for taking the time to share some of your history, and struggles through these Covid times. It must be a truly harrowing journey and my heart goes out to all business people doing the hard yards in these unprecedented times. Every course was a mini journey in impeccable taste sensations. Undoubtedly, you know what it’s like introducing someone new to a degustation experience and we had the pleasure of doing that today, including the well thought out wine matching option. From the sourdough starter to the dessert, each course was truly a delight! Creative textures, flavour combos and first rate presentation, with professional yet personable service. You guys are truly nailing it, and deserve all the success, and hopefully prosperity and rewards that come with the challenges of doing your own business. Thank you for a truly memorable experience that we will treasure for many years, and will tout loud and long to anyone coming down south for a break away. God bless you all! 🥰🥰 Reece Benson

Beautiful atmosphere, great staff and fabulous food. The flavour combinations and dishes were really lovely. Debbie Harrison

A hidden gem! The food was wonderful - so tasty and perfectly presented. Serviced was efficient and attentive. The fixed menus almost put me off but the choices were perfect. Donald Odgers

Food is divine. A must if staying close by. The dessert was possibly the best I have ever had. Brendan Bow

Love this place! Great food, fantastic staff that are always friendly. Decor is great. In summer it’s lovely to have the option to sit outside. Julie S
