Takes Reservations

De’sendent is a sleek 35-seat restaurant and the second incarnation of now-closed Arimia. The beloved cellar door restaurant had a kitchen garden, Duroc-Saddleback pigs on site and a compelling story of farm-to-table dining. Arimia’s chef-owner Evan Hayter spent a decade gently steering the estate’s food and drink offering in an inspiring and earthy direction.

De’sendent picks up where Hayter’s original left off. The à la carte menu is very much driven by producers. The ingredients might include local full-blood Wagyu, hand-caught south-west sea urchin, plus other lesser-seen fish species. You might go for squid ink and a fresh pork sausage in a sauce, which leads to a sobrassada (Catalan sausage) and squid ink sauce doused with Exmouth prawns.
