Auterra

14.5/20Updated September 24, 2026,first published November 18, 2024An 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.
