Our High Quality, Wood Fired Meat

Our beef is sourced directly from the producers and dry aged on premises. The dry ageing process is essential as it brings a superior flavour to the beef than that of the more common wet ageing technique in cryovac, which, in essence, preserves the beef. Our process is a significant commitment as we have many tonnes of beef ageing at any one time. We believe that the types of beef we house 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 cattle: there are no growth hormones used and no antibiotic feed supplements. We believe that the best possible dining experience starts with the best possible ingredients.

Wine

The wine list at Rockpool Bar & Grill Melbourne showcases an impressive selection from a mix of vineyards. Some are small, lesser-known producers whom we feel lucky to have come across, whilst others are more established, with earned reputations and wines that are highly prized all over the world. What we search for in creating this offering are wines that reflect the people who make them and the land they are raised from.
