Parkinson's? What Parkinson's? - Penny West

Penny studied Fine Arts at Curtin University, where she also taught Life Drawing during her final (honours) year.

After a lifetime spent in the publishing and software industries, while sailing around Southeast Asia, she decided she needed a retirement hobby. She chose, painting! It turns out to be the most effective way she’s found to cope with Parkinson’s disease too as it helps her to stay happy and keep stress to a minimum.

Many people take art therapy very seriously. Penny uses it primarily as a strategic method of avoiding housework.

Exhibition opening Saturday 22nd August.

Apéro Dînatoire

Apéro is the French tradition of enjoying drinks and something delicious with friends before dinner. Apéro Dînatoire takes things a little further, with a selection of more substantial dishes designed to be shared and savoured.

Settle in for an afternoon of drinks and sharing something delicious with friends from our special Apéro Dînatoire menu. Check socials and the booking page – we will announce the next Apéro Dînatoire date soon.

Do you have a group of 12 or more with something to celebrate? Get in touch and we may be able to open between 3pm and 5pm especially for you (depending on availability)!

Optional perfectly matched bottle of wine: Credaro Chardonnay from Margaret River, chosen for its full body and balanced acidity OR Coeur Des Sages Gamay from Beaujolais Villages, France — a lighter-style red with low tannins that complements the cheese without overpowering it.

This restaurant is exceptional. The baguette with creamy French butter, the scallop terrine, fish pie, duck with cherries and crème brûlée were all delicious and the wine pairing was excellent, and all made better by the friendly and efficient service. Thanks Bistrot Louis for such a wonderful night.

Quality French cuisine in Esperance!
The scallop terrine, the mushroom pate, the duck with cherry sauce and the crème brûlée were all standouts for me.
I loved the paired wines option.
Exceptional food and service!

This place is seriously out of this world. We stumbled across it, had morning tea but sadly could not get a booking for lunch or dinner, after that, as we were leaving a few days later and they were fully booked. The food and service is something they should be proud of. Exceptional. If you are a food lover and appreciate good food do not miss this place!

If you want delicious food that isnt pub-style then this is the spot! The food was tasty and cooked well! Felt like someone actually madd my meal rather than reheating it (majority of cafes and pubs do!). Table service is great so you dont have to lift a finger. Just 1 shy of full stars for the atmosphere because it is a little crammed (we are big people too) inside when the walls are pulled down due to weather. Great staff!
