Great food, brilliant service & live music makes for a great weekend lunch venue. The small menu holds a few 'gems' - the duck salad, the ribeye & the lamb rack were all awesome. The decontrsucted black forrest dessert was a little bit of a let down - but only a little. It's a very scenic venue, very large building... More

I was in Perth recently visiting my sister and we went to Duckstein as she had been a few years ago and recommended it. We sat down at one table but realised there was quite a bit of food on the floor so moved to another table. We ordered a tasting tray of beers and the Brewers Pan and the... More

Just to clarify the situation ham is to pork what steak is to beef, pork denotes the whole animal and ham is regarded as cured meat from a specific section. This is German fare cooked and presented in accordance with tradition. We only use high quality authentic ingredients and price is reflected in this not to mention the beautiful surrounds... More

We enjoyed the atmosphere of the brewery so much we came twice on our trip. The first was on Mothers Day. The place was buzzing. We shared the couch by the fire with two locals and had a fabulous time. We returned for a quieter lunch and had the platter - billed as trust the chef. It was a delicious... More

Originally my girlfriend and I visited with the intention of just trying the beer. After seeing the menu we had to stay for lunch. I had the Schweinshaxe while my girlfriend had some Rabbit. Both were divine, especially pared with the delicious beer. The building and setting was comfortable but sophisticated. It wasn't cheap, but was worth every penny.

great location with a modern feel. Great beer and even better wine. Amazing people so definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Also a nice kids playground that can keep them playing for hours.

They make German / Czech style beers, which is ok, but a Pilsner and a Hefe are pretty boring styles. However their Dunkel was good and the Alt Bier was special. The had a Pale Ale that was 6.5 % but if you make German Beer why cross the line and make an English Ale. Nice Staff and Good Beer... More

My rating is average - going on previous visits. This time we visited the Duckstein Brewery on the Saracen Estate after just visiting two other breweries in the region i.e. The Bootleg which as usual was relaxing and enjoyable with great atmosphere and service. Then we went to the Cheeky Monkey which was absolutely fantastic in every way, then to... More

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter Saturday lunch relaxing over wine and Duckstein beer with our food. Even sharing two platters of wonderful German food was very filling, but very tasty. We had a beautiful setting to enjoy our leisurely lunch overlooking the water. Not sure of the cost but according to the one paying the bill, it's very reasonable. As... More

Enjoyed a few hour lunch outside on a perfect sunny afternoon. The setting is child friendly with a play area within view while you enjoy a chilled beverage. The meals are large and very filling. It would be a bonus if there was more delicious Germen dishes on the menu. Otherwise very satisfying. We were so relaxed in the lush... More
