Food
At Rockpool Bar & Grill, we pride ourselves on offering a steakhouse menu that exemplifies the pinnacle of culinary excellence in Sydney’s best steak dining. Our beef is sourced directly from the producers and dry-aged on our premises. The dry ageing process is important as it brings a better flavour to the beef than that of the more common wet ageing in cryovac, which in essence is really preserving the beef. This however takes a big commitment as we have many tonnes of beef ageing at any one time. We believe that the types of beef we have are representative of the best of their type in Australia.
Our menu features the finest cuts, including Blackmore’s Wagyu and Cape Grim Grass Fed Beef, reflecting our unwavering commitment to humane cattle treatment. We avoid growth hormones and antibiotic feed supplements, ensuring that each dish meets the highest ethical and quality standards. This approach is rare in Australia, making Rockpool Bar & Grill a distinguished destination among the top steak restaurants in Sydney.

The bar at Rockpool Sydney is the perfect venue for pre or post-lunch, or dinner drinks, after-work drinks, or for a casual bite to eat. With a no-bookings policy, a fantastic bar menu and a cocktail and wine list second to none, it is ideal for those impromptu moments. Join us for RP Hour, 4 pm-6 pm weekdays.
