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. 52 Spice Temple #18 WSOP 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE Visit our website www.wgm8.com to read and comment on every article ever published by World Gaming.
