melbourne bumper special - food







rockpool bar and grill at crown casino

I didnt have super high expectations of the place but man was I blown away!
by far the best steak I ever had! the menu was so extensive, it covers fish, lobsters, pasta, salads, soups.....but I stick to my guns and since they have a meat hanging/drying fridge, baturally I went straight for the steak!

the one that's sliced is the wagyu I had, aged for 49 days. the marbling is perfection!
and it's only like 200 g so you dun feel like it's too rich.

something abt the wood they use for the grill, it's a got a sweet and smoky flavour.
the sides are very very good, too. we had a potato and cabbage gratin, it's a must!
it's thin layers of potatoes and cabbage baked with cheese on top, cheesy and sweet at the same time. even an very ordinary sounding boiled veg with lemon and olive oil was fantastic. and if u ever go to any rockpool establishment, u must have their salads, it's the most well dressed salad in sydney!

to finish we had a passionfruit pavlova (I hate passionfruit, but i love this dessert) and a blood orange sandwich. we had a long black with it and it was soooooo delicious!

service was perfect, wine list was perfect, food was perfect, interior was perfect (they have really comfy club chairs) I cannot ask for more!
