20 Best Restaurants in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler

"Helmed by celebrity chef Neil Perry, Rockpool is unashamedly modeled on great American steakhouses, but Asian influences and superlative local produce give them an edge. You could dine perfectly well on items from the raw bar—the crudo of hiramasa kingfish, ocean trout, and bigeye tuna with finger lime, horseradish, and trout roe is sensational—but then you'd miss the steak, which is unquestionably the star here. The grass-fed Australian beef varieties are dry-aged on the premises and served with a dizzying array of decadent sides. Rockpool Melbourne is part of the gargantuan Crown Casino complex and adopts a suitably moneyed tone." - Dan F. Stapleton
