The Loose Box was a restaurant in Mundaring, an outer eastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. During its 34-year existence, it won many awards for its classical French cuisine and service, and had a big impact on the hospitality industry in Perth.[1][2]
At the time of its closure, the restaurant held a two star rating by The West Australian Good Food Guide 2013.[3] Alongside it was a complex of six cottages providing bed and breakfast accommodation to diners who wanted to stay the night.[1]
