The Loose Box, French restaurant in Mundaring, Australia.
The Loose Box was a French restaurant housed in a cottage building along Great Eastern Highway in the eastern suburbs of Perth. The property included six guest accommodations, allowing visitors to combine dining with overnight stays.
The establishment opened in 1979 under chef Alain Fabrègues, serving classical French cuisine for more than three decades. It closed in July 2013 after a long period of consistent operations.
The restaurant brought French culinary techniques to Western Australia, offering an eight-course tasting menu with both traditional and vegetarian choices. Diners experienced classical French cooking methods combined with local ingredients and careful preparation.
Visitors could enjoy dishes such as Coconut Prawn Broth, Meeresfrüchte-Tian, and Salmon with local scallops. Guests were able to combine their meals with the available accommodation options on site.
The restaurant earned a two-star rating from the West Australian Good Food Guide 2013 shortly before closing. The recognition documented its standing as one of the region's finest dining destinations in its final years.
