Rockpool Perth
Tasting menu

If you could experience Rockpool Perth just once, this is the menu we'd serve.

Our new Seasonal Tasting Menu is the signature experience, course by course.

A carefully curated journey celebrating exceptional Western Australian produce, premium beef and the unmistakable character of our woodfire grill. From BBQ Pemberton marron with corn and curry leaf to David Blackmore Wagyu Denver, each course builds on the last, moving from delicate flavours to richer dishes before a final sweet course.

It's everything Rockpool stands for, thoughtfully brought together in one unforgettable menu.

Two Hats.
One Legacy.

Year after year, Rockpool Bar & Grill Sydney continues to set the standard, including our Two Hats in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2026.

To our guests, thank you for continuing to share your celebrations, milestones and everyday moments around our tables. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more.

The first cocktail. The conversation that lingers. A perfectly cooked steak. A bottle shared between friends. Dessert that somehow finds room at the table.

At Rockpool, it's never just one dish that makes an evening unforgettable. It's that feeling of timelessness.

One of our recent guests captured it perfectly.

“Some places stay with you, no matter how much time passes.

It’s been close to 12 years since my last visit, but... this is a restaurant that knows exactly what it’s doing and does it exceptionally well.”

Freshly shaved truffle has a way of transforming a dish. As each delicate ribbon falls, its unmistakable aroma fills the space before it reaches the plate.

It's why we finish it tableside at Rockpool. A simple ritual that celebrates the ingredient at its most expressive. Available across a selection of Rockpool favourites for a limited time.

Indulgence is now in season.

The arrival of Australian black truffles marks one of winter's finest rituals. At Rockpool, ours are hand-harvested at peak maturity on the mountainside of Oberon, before being shaved, grated and infused through a selection of favourites. The result is an unmistakable earthy aroma and rich depth of flavour, available for a limited time.

Great food is one thing. A great team is another. At Rockpool, you get both.

The sommelier who remembers what you ordered last time. The team that treats every table like it matters. Because it does.

Before a steak reaches the grill, months of decisions have already been made. The producer. The breed. The cut. The precise number of days required to deepen the flavour. Only then is it cooked over wood fire and rested with patience.

Some restaurants serve beef. Others serve a benchmark.

Most steakhouses use gas. Rockpool uses wood fire. It takes longer, needs more attention, and produces a crust and depth of flavour that gas simply cannot replicate.

Some restaurants serve steak. At Rockpool, we serve a standard.

A tasting menu at Rockpool Bar & Grill is not simply a sequence of courses. It is a considered journey through the finest produce each city has to offer, shaped by the hands of a kitchen at the height of its craft. Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth each bring their own character to the table, united by one unwavering standard of excellence. This is Rockpool at its most deliberate and its most rewarding.

This is where it begins.
Long before the grill is lit and the table is set, Executive Chef Santiago Aristizabal is here, working through each cut with the kind of care and precision that simply cannot be replicated. Every piece of beef that arrives at Rockpool is butchered in-house, daily, by hands that understand exactly what this produce demands and exactly what our guests deserve.
It is this commitment to the craft, from the very first cut to the very last bite, that has made Rockpool Bar & Grill the benchmark for Australian beef. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is left to chance.

There is something about the pour of a good champagne that signals the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next. As the financial year draws to a close, Rockpool offers the setting that the moment deserves. Exceptional beverages, food, and the company that made it all worthwhile.

There are dishes that arrive at the table and change the atmosphere of the room. The Chuleta is one of them. Bone-in, dry aged in-house and cooked over open fire, it is the kind of cut that earns its place at the centre of the table not through ceremony but through sheer presence. Available in Sydney and Melbourne subject to availability, this is the dish you build the evening around, the one that makes every other decision feel easy. Order the wine to match it. Let everything else follow.

Every cut on the Rockpool menu begins long before it reaches the grill. The beef program that Santiago Aristizabal has built is one of the most considered in the country, built around exceptional Australian producers, in-house dry ageing and a butchery process that happens daily, because the standard this kitchen holds itself to does not accommodate shortcuts.

Among the many exceptional options, you’ll find the dry-aged T-Bone, the Entrana, the Chuleta and the Picanha, each representing a different expression of that program, cuts chosen not for convenience but for what they are capable of when they meet the right amount of time, care and fire. These are not simply cuts on a menu. They are the result of a program that treats beef with the reverence it deserves, from the paddock to the pass.

Remarkable cuts, thoughtfully sourced and prepared with the same conviction across Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, each with its own menu and its own character. Whichever Rockpool you walk into, the standard remains the same.

There is a discipline in sourcing that runs through every decision on the Rockpool menu, from the beef that is butchered in-house daily to the seafood that travels from some of Australia's most exceptional coastal waters to our wood fire grill.

The Half Coral Trout makes that journey from the Great Barrier Reef - grilled over open flame and served with vongole, lime leaf and tamarind jam, the brightness of the sauce drawing out everything the fire has built into the fish.

The Whole Southern Calamari comes from the pristine waters of Victoria's Corner Inlet, where the calamari is something the wood fire grill can do something genuinely remarkable with, finished with jamon and morita chilli that brings warmth and depth in equal measure.

Two dishes. The same standard that has always defined this kitchen.

Currently on the Sydney menu, subject to availability.
