Overview
Rockpool Bar & Grill is a crown jewel in Melbourne’s fine dining landscape—bringing the fire, flavour, and finesse of a world-class steakhouse to the banks of the Yarra. Housed within the Crown Entertainment Complex, the venue offers a lavish yet grounded experience, where quality produce, precise technique, and timeless design set the tone.
Helmed by Neil Perry’s Rockpool Group, the restaurant centres around wood-fired grilling and a philosophy of ingredient excellence. The hero of the menu is undoubtedly the dry-aged beef, sourced from some of Australia’s best producers and cooked over open flame to enhance natural flavour and texture. Steaks range from grass-fed to full-blood wagyu, but the menu extends far beyond—featuring freshly shucked oysters, chargrilled seafood, handmade pastas, and seasonal vegetable sides that are anything but an afterthought.
The space itself is grand and moody, with soaring ceilings, marble accents, leather booths, and intimate lighting that evokes a high-end Manhattan supper club. Service is polished, professional, and knowledgeable—elevating the experience without overshadowing it.
The wine list is extensive and award-winning, curated with depth and global breadth, while cocktails and digestifs round out the luxury dining experience.
Rockpool Bar & Grill is ideal for power lunches, date nights, or indulgent celebrations. It’s a benchmark for high-end steak and seafood dining in Australia, where every detail—from the salt flakes to the wine decanting—is carefully considered and beautifully executed.
