Miki’s Open Kitchen – A Degustation Delight

If there was ever a degustation that could potentially blow your mind, it’d be the one at Miki’s Open Kitchen.

We’d always wanted to try out Miki’s Japanese-inspired menu, but getting a booking spot at this local restaurant in Margaret River was almost impossible. Luckily, we managed to secure a spot in here recently.

We heard many good reviews about this place (and their Google reviews can testify to this), so we were pretty excited to try it for ourselves.

The entrance to the restaurant itself isn’t highly visible, and the space itself is quite small and intimate. Safe to say, we were excited at this point!

Miki’s offered two dinner slots at 6pm and the second at 8.15pm. Guests who arrive at the 6pm slot will be given a 2-hour time limit to dine, so we’d recommend the 8.15pm slot if you’d like to take your time. We chose the 2-hour slot, and time just flew by!

Miki’s changes their menu often, and their existing menu was projected on a screen in the restaurant. We ordered their degustation with a sake pairing (as is necessary when eating Japanese food!)

While waiting for the first dish, we were served a refreshing tea that was amazingly yum! All meals were prepared in front of us, and it was amazing to see how the chefs cooked our food.

Each dish that was served was delightful. There honestly wasn’t any dish that was disappointing, as all the flavours just came together so perfectly. This was definitely one of the better degustations we’ve tried.

The sake pairing was also great and blended in with the food amazingly. We’d definitely recommend trying the sake pairing with the degustation menu.

To finish it off, we were served chai tea and a mousse dessert. It was a lovely way to complete the meal, and definitely a bow on top of our degustation experience.

So the next time you’re in Margaret River, we’d highly recommend trying Miki’s Open Kitchen. You won’t regret it.
