CROWN RESTAURANTS: SAVOR THE MOMENT
Mr Hive Kitchen & Bar
MR HIVE KITCHEN & BAR
Fans of more traditional cuisine will
appreciate Mr Hive Kitchen & Bar located on level
one of the Crown Metropol hotel. The restaurant
caters to diners and hotel guests alike and the
menu is a tribute to British dishes, which have
been re-invented and modernized. Evocative of
the best British cooking with a hint of nostalgia,
the dishes are a showcase for executive chef
John Lawson’s immeasurable talent and skill.
Influenced by dining in New York, Melbourne
and London, Lawson applies traditional French
cooking techniques in a modern context and
has created a menu that is reflective of his British
heritage and love of comforting dishes that burst
with “big flavors”.
ROCKPOOL BAR & GRILL
Connoisseurs of Wagyu beef will be drawn
to Rockpool Bar & Grill to experience why Neil
Perry’s signature beef meals receive world-wide
recognition. Rockpool Wagyu beef hangs in a
chiller room with viewing windows, as part
of the traditional dry ageing process. Before
carving into a first-class cut, drop into Perry’s
glittering cocktail bar, The Waiting Room, which
serves a selection of spectacular cocktails and
sumptuous snacks ideal to start or finish any
evening.
SPICE TEMPLE
Fans of fusion-based food should visit
Spice Temple, which offers Asian-fusion at its
best combined with a sexy interior, spice-filled
menu and a cocktail list to rival the best bars in
Melbourne.
Giuseppe Arnaldo & Sons
GIUSEPPE ARNALDO & SONS
Those after a more opulent dining
experience should visit Giuseppe Arnaldo & Sons.
Inspired by a vision of a third millennium Roman
Trattoria Giuseppe Arnaldo & Sons illustrates a
contemporary idea of Rome within the heart of
Melbourne. The brainchild of Maurizio Terzini
and Robert Marchetti, the restaurant offers
Marchetti’s own salumi range, cheeses matured
by Assineur Richard Thomas and wines made in
Italian styles by local vineyards, providing guests
with an authentic Italian dining experience with
expert service.
All these top restaurants are located amongst
other established favorites such as Koko offering
traditional and teppanyaki Japanese, Number 8
restaurant and wine bar serving modern Australian
dishes, JJ’s Bar & Grill, Breezes and the recently reopened
Conservatory. Crown has a superb choice
of top-class restaurants and there is something on
offer to cater for every palate.
