A meal at Rockpool is a crash course in what modern Australian cooking is all about, conducted in a glamorous, long dining room with a catwalk-like ramp. Chefs Neil Perry and Khan Danis weave Thai, Chinese, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influences into their repertoire with effortless flair and originality. Prepare to be amazed by herb- and spice-crusted tuna on braised eggplant salad, stir-fried squid with black-ink noodles, slow-cooked abalone with black fungi and truffle oil, and the luscious stuffed pig's trotter in red curry sauce. If there's room (and there's always room), try the famous date tart. Reservations essential.
