Melbourne in Docklands. It’s in collaboration with renowned chef Mike McEnearney @bymikegroup, whose background includes Rockpool and Michelin starred kitchens in London. It was also awarded a hat this year by @goodfoodau! This is not your typical hotel restaurant. The space feels calm with lots of reclaimed and recycled materials that tie in with the river setting. The menu is a celebration of Victorian produce, with a strong focus on seasonality and sustainability, with subtle European and Asian influences. Order a la carte or they have a $100pp Feed Me Menu. There’s a Victoria shaped producer map on the menu, showing where ingredients are sourced from and the kitchen is currently diverting around 87% of waste from landfill! The drinks list features 40+ Victorian winemakers. ⭐️ Beef Tartare, Kefir Cream - theatrical and generous⭐️ Goats Cheese Souffle - fluffy and creamy, cheesy without being salty, the baked shallot pairing was spot on✔️ House Spaghettini - al dente and not overly seafood-y⭐️ Fried Brussel Sprouts, Ricotta Salata - charred and crispy, yet juicy when you bite into them✔️ Rice Pudding - delicious and not overly sweet, could have been a touch sweeter⭐️ Dark Chocolate Mousse - heavenly. Velvety, not too bitter, with great texture from the nibs This was hands down the best hotel restaurant I’ve been to and one of my favourite meals of the year. Absolutely worth a visit. Please note: we visited a few months ago - so most of the dishes have now changed for the season. However I am confident anything would be delicious! Have you visited?
