Located at the top of Margaret River's main street, de'sendent is an intimate restaurant shaped by people, place, and a deep respect for produce.
They are a small team, driven by curiosity and care, working closely with the land and those who cultivate it.
Born from their previous chapter at Arimia Estate, owners Ann Spencer and Executive Chef Evan Hayter, carry forward the philosophy rooted in growing, sourcing, and respecting exceptional produce. While they no longer grow everything themselves, that same care now extends into the relationships they've built with local farmers, fishermen, and artisans—people who share their belief that great food begins long before it reaches the kitchen.
Dining at de'sendent is designed to feel personal and quietly memorable. The kitchen is open, and whenever possible, the chefs bring dishes to your table. There is no barrier, no performance—just a shared experience. The single degustation menu is shaped by the season—there are moments of abundance and moments of restraint; both are equally important. When certain ingredients are unavailable, they adapt. When something exceptional appears, they lean in.
Their drinks program follows the same philosophy. Wines are selected for their sense of place and the people behind them. Cocktails are ingredient-driven, often drawing on native botanicals, fermentation, and techniques borrowed from the world of wine.
The rhythm of your experience will shift with the seasons.
