For a contemporary restaurant with a cosmopolitan vibe in Sydney’s southern suburbs, take the family to Rocksalt Restaurant and Lounge Bar on Allison Crescent, Menai. Retreat inside a warming interior for an intimate dinner tucked in among a cosy cushioned nook, dine alfresco or laze on comfy lounges with pre-dinner drinks as parties get into full swing on a mezzanine level in this cleverly designed establishment. Modern Australian cuisine absorbs exotic influences to showcase an array of flavours and textures in each dish that is sure to set mouths watering in anticipation. Diners may be tempted by crispy fried squid with nam jim caramel and Asian herbs as an entrée, while mains may present the likes of slow braised beef cheeks with Penang coconut curry, jasmine rice and toasted peanuts.
