The Red Herring is situated on an old Oyster Beds site which was established in 1921 by Athanasios Avgoustis, later known as Arthur Auguste, for his Oyster Wholesaling business. Crates submerged in the Swan River kept the Oysters fresh and it was at their home at 26 Riverside Road, that Arthur and his family ran the business. After his death in 1932, Arthur’s wife and three daughters established a Restaurant over the Swan River, adjacent to the bedded crates. It was called Auguste’s Oyster Beds. The Restaurant underwent several changes of ownership throughout the years, until the current local proprietors purchased it in 1997. It was renamed The Red Herring and architecturally transformed to create an open and relaxed Restaurant that takes advantage of its wonderful surroundings. The Red Herring specialises in fresh, local seafood including live oysters, which are shucked to order from ‘Shucks’ Oyster Bar inside the Restaurant. A multi award winning venue, The Red Herring has received three consecutive American Express awards, American Express Hall of Fame, Gold Plate Finalist since our inception and winner of 2000 and 2001, Best wine list 2002 and most recently awarded Best Tourist Restaurant in Australia, the first time this award has been received by a Western Australian Restaurant. Panoramic river views, the best in fine dining, freshest available produce and impeccable service all combine to create a unique dining experience that is The Red Herring. |
