The Colour Patch

A late lunch for two, stumbled across The Colour Patch on a drive through the Margaret River region. Beautiful view, reasonably busy when we arrived but friendly greeting and prompt service. We had the grilled squid which was fabulous, delicious yellow curry full of fish, asparagus with whipped feta. Shared the peanut butter and banana ice-cream which came with a sublime cinnamon toasted marshmallow. Wow!! Food and view were fantastic, service was lovely too. Walk right along the river afterwards and check out the view and the mini methane bubbles. Perfect afternoon stop!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Colour Patch on Albany Terrace, and I must say, my initial skepticism quickly turned into a delightful surprise. Being one of the few restaurants in the area, coupled with its offer of a 10% discount for attendees of the Albany Whale Tours, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, my experience with their food, ambience, and services far exceeded my expectations. First and foremost, the food at The Colour Patch was simply fantastic. Every dish I ordered was a delight to the taste buds. Among my personal favorites were the Roast Squid and White Bean Ham Stock Soup, as well as the Yellow Curry. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. The ambience of the restaurant was another highlight. Situated right beside the picturesque "lake," it provided a lovely view that complemented the dining experience. What impressed me the most was the spaciousness of the place, even during lunchtime. There was no sense of overcrowding, allowing for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The service at The Colour Patch was exemplary. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Their warm and welcoming demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. While the food and service were exceptional, I did find the portion sizes to be a bit small. However, this did not take away from the overall quality of the dishes. In conclusion, I highly recommend The Colour Patch at Albany Terrace for a delightful lunch after your whale watching adventure. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and pleasant ambience make it a great choice for a memorable dining experience. Don't let its size or location deter you; give it a try and savor the flavors in this hidden gem.

This was a lot more than we expected, it's quite a classy restaurant with seating for around 100 with a full bar and great view. On the other hand, there is takeaway pizza etc so you can take it across the road and enjoy it on the lawn overlooking the bay. The food and coffee was great and on weekends and school holidays booking a table is recommended. Don't be fooled by the sign on the road saying" last eating house before the Antarctic "....it's very classy.

We went to The Colour Patch today, and can not speak more highly of it, nor recommend it more thoroughly! The venue, food, and the view are just gorgeous. We were told that the venue was recently renovated... and the quality shines through. Beyond the great setting - the menu and drinks list was diverse and encompassing of most, if not all, dietary requirements... and steps well beyond any sort of 'usual pub fare'! Also, the staff were friendly and efficient... what more could you ask for?? If you are in the area (especially after a visit to the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse) - you have to stop by.
