It’s February already, and you know what that means – Valentine’s Day is so close you can almost taste it!  Whether you’re experiencing the exciting first flush of love or have been together for years, nothing quite says “l’amour” than taking your date out for a romantic rendezvous on Valentine’s Day.
If you’re feeling the love for something a little on the exotic side, then Meeka’s got your back.  Our Valentine’s Day set menu has something for everyone, including a mezze starter to share (because, romance).  Our starter platter features decadent duck parfait, crispy prawn sliders, zesty falafels and lashings of pumpkin tahini yoghurt. And that’s just for entree!
For mains, you’ll be given the choice of three mouthwatering dishes. Choose between our wood-fired lamb shoulder with Moroccan mint sauce and crispy onions, or crispy Wagin duck leg with duck jus, baby carrots, dates and feta. Or how about pan-fried gnocchi, fired tomatoes, chermoula, almonds and goat’s curd? We never said it was gonna be easy.
And as if Valentine’s Day couldn’t get any sweeter, our dessert card features passionfruit curd tart, orange blossom meringue and strawberry rose chocolate mousse cake.  I know. We’re sorry. Truly.
Of course, vegetarian and gluten-free options are readily available.
Our special Valentine’s Day three-course dinner is $85, or $130 with matched wines.

After travels throughout Australia and internationally completing vintages in countries such as France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and South Africa, in 2006 Si Vintners was established.
 
Si Vintners is made up of two qualified winemakers (husband and wife) who in September of 2010 purchased a 30 acre estate with 20 acres under vine (majority planted in 1978). The property is situated just south of the Margaret River Township in an area called Rosa Glen. Sarah and Iwo are doing incredibly unique things in Western Australia.
 
"Since purchasing the property, the vineyard has been farmed 100% organic/biodynamic.
All our wines are made without any of the usual additives used in commercial winemaking, apart from a small sulphur addition at bottling. We bottle our wines without fining or filtration as we believe that these processes take away aromas and flavours from the wine. We believe a little sediment in the bottom of the bottle only creates a more authentic wine. Our motivation is to hand craft natural wines, which are expressive of the vineyard and sub-region."
 
Meeka will be pairing 5 glasses of wine with 6 courses including Leah's delectable desserts.
Wines include the official launch of "Bella" Chardonnay, current and aged Cabernet Sauvignon plus more that will be matched perfectly with food created by Head Chef/Owner Leah Clarke.
 
Save the date Thursday 31st October
Meet and greet with the winemaker from 6.00pm with 6.30pm start
$90.00 per person
