Our Restaurant is imbued with a provincial spirit, from a personal greeting at the front door to the food on the plate in front of you. Led by Head Chef Barry Davis, the kitchen serves food inspired by regional France, but anchored in fresh, seasonal produce, whether grown here or from further afield. Chefs make daily visits to the garden, harvesting the best of the produce for use in the restaurant. We run an old fashioned kitchen using new technologies where things are made from scratch. Flavour is Barry’s gift.

Our front of house team brings a wealth of food and wine knowledge and warmth to the dining experience. We pride ourselves on continuing to offer a consistently high standard of food and wine since opening in 2002.

As part of the regional dining experience, our wine list highlights what that the Mornington Peninsula does best, in a regional and international context, with reference to a range of varietals.

The relaxed elegance of the Montalto Restaurant is set in a striking and harmonious landscape building featuring rammed earth walls, timber frames and rough-hewn floor boards. Floor to ceiling windows take advantage of the breathtaking and rambling rural outlook of vines, olive groves, sculpture, lakes and wetlands, with pasture, and a hint of the ocean as the backdrop.

Rockpool Bar & Grill Melbourne was inspired by the great steakhouses of North America. With an uncompromising focus on excellent produce – in particular the meat program – beef sourced from only Australia’s very best producers, an outstanding wine list and sharp and enthusiastic service, this is a dining venue that offers a refined yet relaxed experience…the menu is simple and uncomplicated, the room luxurious.

Our beef is sourced directly from the producers and dry aged on our premises. That means we have total control over the quality of the beef. The dry aging 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 we have many tonnes of beef aging at any one time. We believe that the three types of beef we have are representative of the best of their type in Australia. Blackmore’s Wagyu, Cape Grim and Minderoo all 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.

The newly renovated Cove Hotel in Patterson Lakes is a premier dining and entertainment complex. Located on the marina, it’s a terrific place to gaze upon the spectacular water views. The venue also boasts a Wine Bar, Sports Bar, Function Rooms and more.
