Auterra
Updated ,first published
Contemporary$$$
An elegant spot for Euro-leaning snacks and share plates.
What does a neighbourhood wine bar look like when that neighbourhood is well-heeled Armadale? Check out Auterra, the casual yet supremely polished sibling of three-hatted Amaru across the road. Since opening in 2021, the menu has evolved to offer more than just glossy, Instagrammable snacks, though the small plates still pack the greatest punch.
A cake-like crumpet ferries silky duck parfait and a curl of house-made duck ham, while puffy Parker House rolls soak up lemon myrtle butter. Abalone schnitzel is sandwiched between rounds of soft shokupan, and a reboot of sesame prawn toast deploys juicy marron and nutty mushroom XO.
Each is a great match for a broad wine list that goes big on small producers. The stylishly simple shopfront dining room leads to a sunny rear courtyard, where engaging staff are among the friendliest in all of Armadale.
Best for: Snacks with three-hat pedigree in a relaxed setting.
