Jarrahdale Tavern & Restaurant

Tucked into the Jarrahdale bushland, this rustic outpost pairs hearty pub classics with cold pints under towering trees. Day-trippers and hikers head straight for the leafy beer garden, where water-misting sprays cool the summer midday heat and dogs lounge under wide umbrellas with water bowls close by. When the chill sets in, blazing wood fires warm the indoor dining room and enclosed verandah. Families spread out easily thanks to the timber playground keeping kids occupied between bites of burgers and hot chips. Settle in over a pint of Tooheys Old on tap, wood-fired pizza, and a tender steak sandwich piled high on a fresh bun.
