A very unassuming place from the outside. Although the interior is a bit dated, the quality of the food more than compensated for it. The food was very well presented, very tasty, and the sides were a good portion and very well made. The wait staff were friendly and attentive.
My all time favourite restaurant. Fantastic food every time, never left disappointed. My son likes steak and although it is not on the kids menu, they always cook him one when requested. Great friendly service staff too!
Fantastic food and service had by our entire table.
Will be back soon.

Really good food, decent prices, nice dining room although furniture looked a bit dated, definately wouldn't stop us going back tho. Oh and BYO with no corkage!!
Definitely eating here again. My family and I went here for a birthday dinner. The owner looked after us and was so friendly. Great service. Best food. The garlic prawns I ordered were to die for. Everyone was really happy with their food. The restaurant was really child friendly too. I am definitely dining here again.
My favourite!. This restaurant is the best I've ever visited. The service is absolutely top-notch, and the food is beautiful. I first went there with my husband for my birthday; it was a very romantic evening, and I felt extremely spoiled.
Lately I've been to dinner with family there and the ambience was relaxed and friendly.
I've always found the food to be excellent, but in particular the deep-fried camembert, the tabasco & lime oysters, and the bacon-wrapped steaks are well worth a try.
In all, I think that The Manse is a lovely and versatile restaurant, at the same time being relaxing, friendly, romantic, cosy, and high quality in both service and food.
We have been there twice lately and went there the second time because the first time was so good The second was just as good top service too
Fish & Beef. Wife & I went to The Manse for the first time last night. Firstly the food, I had the Barramundi and it was pleasant, a little over cooked (dry) and obviously that Asian farmed type but ok. My beetroot salad was great. Wife had the fillet and it was a great piece of meat. She usually has to ask for "blue" just to get rare but the chief did a great job. The service - Brilliant. The wait staff were polite, attentive and knew the menu, even apologised for forgetting to top our water once. Set prices, good wait staff, no ridiculous "corkage" fees and good food; wont have the fish again but will defiantly return. Well worth the try.
AWESOME. My husband and I went to this restaurant a couple of weeks ago and ordered entree, main and dessert each for only $60 each! it was beautiful. I honestly cannot fault the food at all. My husband never usually eats desserts but scraped his plate clean that night. We were both joking that it was like master chef :) I could go on and on about how delicious it all was.
We also had the team from the Manse cater for our wedding in February this year and the food then was just perfect. Everyone loved it and I am so glad that they did the catering.
I know i will go back with the rest of my family again soon just so they can understand why I loved it so much :)
Amazing food and service!. Meals were very nice! Had the kangaroo myself and it was cooked perfectly everyone enjoyed there meals in the group we were with, service was spot on! Very happy, thank you
Went out on a Saturday night with friends, nice food, excellent quick service, fair price, worth a visit.
Mid-week Birthday dinner. We went on Thursday night for a Birthday dinner. My overall impression was that it was nice, the nicest thing in Armadale by far. I recommend this restaurant for special occassions in the Armadale area but if you can travel an extra 20mins into the hills there are nicer options available. Overall it could do with a "refresh" and reboot. The decor was old as was the furniture. There were a lot of golden plate awards on display but I could not make out any recent ones. The food was nice and well cooked. The service was really good and attentive. Food was well prepared but a little old fashioned. There were no vegetarian options but a note on the menu stated they could accomodate dietry requirements. I would recommend the restuarant taking the time and money to redo the interior and revamp their menu and then I am sure they will reinvigorate their business. They have the basics there, good food and service but it all needs freshening up.
Excellent value and taste. Had a special bday dinner for a large group recently.All served together and good amounts of food each course. Even had a doggy bag. Yet another great night out thanks to Gary and his staff. Definitely going again soon.
Charming. Very charming and cosy restaurant.
I had a birthday gathering with 20 guests and we were impressed by the service and food.
It would be a lovely place for family dining too.
Awesome surprise. Hubby and I dined at the Manse tonight and we were very pleasantly surprised. Firstly we were greeted by pleasant, efficient and friendly service - not chatty friendly type service but fine(er) dining, know the restaurant, know the food, believe in it sort of service. Who would have thought!? Tick first impression and tick service box. Once we got over our shock and were asked if they could pour my wine (no corkage and BYO mind you) we ordered garlic bread, and entrees. I had the natural oysters, served with line and Tabasco sauce and hubby had the smoked salmon bruschetta. My oysters were not, as typically presented, in reused shells, they were in fact on their original shells, so fresh that the little lipids on the outer shell were still alive! Large and flechy, tasting of the sea and with no odour - You don't expect fresh seafood in Armadale!!! Yum, and so satisfying, the way oysters should be. Hubby's smoked salmon was fresh and room temp, allowing for beautiful flavour upon the chunks of brie underneath and then to savour the thinly sliced Turkish bread toasted to perfection. A nice simple classily presented entrée. Tick the entrée box. The main was something else. Not only was my rib eye steak served with home-style bacon wrapped around it but he (often not so texture perfect cut) was cooked to medium rare beautifully. The meat rested on smooth and flavourful mash with a roasted tomato that was flavourful and fresh. I am not as fussy as hubby but even he complimented the meal. However, I was lucky to get a sample of his meal as I have yet to see him enjoy nay meal, let alone Kangaroo like he did tonight. Dukkah crusted kangaroo loin served on roasted beetroot and a red wine jus was actually more than amazing - he wished it wouldn't end and I wished I had chosen it! He went out of his way to praise the chef and tell others as he walked out. We had no room for desert rolled ourselves out the door very satisfied and so very pleasantly surprised. We intend to make the Manse a regular haunt!!
Diamond in the rough.... Had dinner at this quaint little restaurant last night. The decor is a bit dated, but I think it helps add to the charm of the place. The restaurant has been around since the 80s and every table was filled with diners - a pretty good sign.
Good, honest food. I had the chicken breast, which was definitely one of the better ones I've eaten in Perth. I'm always a bit scared its going to end up being dry, but not the case here at the Manse. It was delicious, I polished off the entire thing (= Came with homemade chips and salad with a nice sweet tangy dressing. My companions all enjoyed their mains as well.
Cheese plate was pretty average, with Jatz style crackers and supermarket cheese. Pecan pie was deathly sweet.. maybe I need to work on my sweet tooth. Desserts could definitely be improved.
Other than one of the waitresses clearing away my dessert without asking if I had finished (I had not), the service was great. They happily allowed us to split the bill and turned the aircon down a notch without complaint when I was getting chilly!
Don't forget the wine! It's BYO alcohol.
Would return if in the area, but would stick to mains/entrees. Good little (only??) finer dining restaurant in the Armadale area.
Good menu with good quality ingredients used and nicely prepared, generous serves. I like eating there....thinking I might go again soon
John. Great restaurant. Never leave this place hungry or feeling like you've been fleeced! Go for the reef and beef, it's really lovely. Sweet trolley could be a little better, but considering the portions you get, if you get to the sweet, you've done well.
2 words - VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great food! Great service! I was absolutely blown away with the quality of food and service this little place had to offer. Will go again and will deffentely be recommending to friends and family.
We love the convenience as The Manse is our local restaurant, but it is so much more than that - Garry and his staff have created special dishes for our daughter who has many allergies, They're always willing to talk with us and suggest ingredients that she can have and we all, as a family, have eaten the most delicious and superb meals - so much so that when we try another restaurant for a change, it falls far short of the quality and excellence of the Manse Meals and we always return to eat there. Their prices are extremely reasonable and we always get a meal that satisfies our appetites. I have eaten elsewhere and left after the meal is over still feeling hungry. I cannot recommend The Manse highly enough for their service, price, satisfaction and sheer relaxed comfort.
This restaurant is the best I've ever visited. The service is absolutely top-notch, and the food is beautiful.

Great service! Great food! Perfect atmosphere for a small group of close friends, but also great for large gatherings. I go here often!
