“The cornerstone of good cooking is to source the finest produce.” This is the motto of top Australian chef Neil Perry, the man behind the award-winning Rockpool restaurant in the historic Rocks superb of Sydney. The pony-tailed Perry’s ethos is simple: his restaurant is a celebration of quality Australian produce; only with the finest of ingredients can you produce the finest cuisine. Their “ocean to plate” seafood policy means your fish course will not be long out of the water, allowing you to savour some unique tastes and flavours.

This place is heaven for serious foodies; an elaborate tasting menu allows you to sample dishes such as Salad of Abalone, Mussels, Clams and Tea Smoked Oysters with Truffle Oil and Mushroom Soy Dressing, followed by Chinese Roast Pigeon with Prawn Stuffed Eggplant. And you just know serious thought has gone into the provenance of every component of each dish. The wine-list is equally well put together, naturally highlighting the best in Australian wines, while not neglecting the rest of the world.

A second branch, the Rockpool Bar & Grill, has recently opened in Melbourne, which is only fair – why should Sydney get to keep this place to itself?
