A Relaxed Dining Experience at Rockpool Bar & Grill Sydney

Published - 29 January 2023, Sunday

Rockpool Bar & Grill Sydney is Australia’s most beautiful dining room. Situated in the sensational City Mutual Building, a 1936 Emil Sodersteen-designed American style art deco skyscraper.

The dining style is simple and uncomplicated, perfectly wood fire-grilled meats and seafood from Australia’s very best producers, a perfect match to what is Australia’s greatest wine list.

The beef is sourced directly from the producers and dry aged on the premises.

The dry ageing process is important as it brings a better flavour to the beef than that of the more common wet aging in cryovac, which in essence is really preserving the beef.

This however takes a big commitment as they have many tonnes of beef ageing at any one time. Rockpool believe's that the types of beef are representative of the best of their type in Australia.

Blackmore’s Wagyu and Cape Grim Grass Fed Beef fit into the strict Rockpool philosophy of humane treatment to the cattle.

There are no growth hormones used and no antibiotic feed supplements. This is a rare thing in Australia today, particularly with the standard lot fed cattle.

Big and bold describes both the art deco skyscraper setting and wood-fired flavours at this glamorous Sydney hot spot.

Celebrated chef Neil Perry’s menus focus on quality Australian produce flame grilled with precision.

Grass-fed beef, dry-aged on site, is Rockpool’s culinary calling card, but seafood is treated with equal panache.

The signature dish of Cape Grim rib-eye – often regarded as the best beef in the country – sits alongside butterflied lobster smothered in herb butter.

An all-Australian wine list is equally high-end, while the bar offers an excellent range of regional tequilas and Japanese whisky. Vidoe Credit: Murdoch Books Image Credit: Rockpool Bar and Grill Facebook Page

RATED 7.5 / 8

We dined at Rockpool last Saturday night. There were 4 of us celebrating an outing post covid. What can I say, the staff, service, food, ambience was fabulous. The sommelier suggested 2 great wines which we loved. The Steak Diane Pie with Potato Puree was superb and my husband really enjoyed his Seared King Prawns with Goats Cheese Tortellini and Burnt Butter, Pine Nuts and Raisins. The desserts were also great –  loved the Pavlova and the Caramel Ice Cream with Wood Fire Grilled Banana. If you haven’t yet dined at Rockpool, you are missing out – it’s definitely worth a visit.
