Crystalbrook Kingsley is heating up the Newcastle dining scene with today’s launch of Roundhouse, positioned on the ninth-floor rooftop of the newly opened hotel.
Brandishing distinctly modern Australian cuisine, Roundhouse beats the drum for the region’s abundance of world-class produce, working in partnership with local artisans, farmers, and fisherman to present pared back dishes that celebrate the beauty of the ingredients fresh from the earth and sea.
Perched at the top of one of Newcastle’s most iconic buildings, locally known as The Roundhouse, the namesake restaurant boasts 360-degree views over Newcastle city, from Nobby’s Head to the Hunter Valley.
80% of produce at Roundhouse is sourced within a three-hour radius of the hotel, and the extensive wine list which showcases the incredible breadth of the Hunter region’s wine varietals.
Headed by Executive Chef, Natalie Bolt, known for her work in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Thailand, Natalie says: “We have created a menu that celebrates native Australian ingredients and the world-class produce grown in our region.
“It’s an exciting new chapter for Newcastle and I’m loving working on the ground with incredible producers and providores,” she said.
Menu highlights include Pukura Estate lamb rack served with smoked eggplant and wattleseed pickle, Adina Estate olives and polenta cake with sweet fig jus and the sustainably caught Paperbark baked whole market fish with sunrise lime pickle and harissa duck fat potatoes.
The rooftop design was created by EJE Architecture while interiors were developed by Suede Interior Design.
