Melbourne Restaurants

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.

Kinya is one of Melbourne’s most enviably located Japanese restaurants, nestled in the south Docklands precinct overlooking the Yarra River and Docklands Park. We serve fresh, contemporary Japanese cuisine at affordable prices while you soak up some of the best water views in Melbourne.

The Foreshore Bar & Restaurant is situated in the quiet little village of Rhyll.
