All clean lines and industrial decor, this high-ceilinged restaurant and microbrewery makes intelligent use of a heritage-protected merchant's store in central Rockhampton, and is still the most urbane place to eat in town. It morphs to meet needs throughout the day, serving beautifully presented and inventive breakfasts, calorific bar food and more refined dinners, depending on the hour.
Night-time mains (unavailable Sunday and Monday), such as slow-cooked oyster-blade steak with witloof, freekeh, orange, blue-cheese mousse, charcoal salt and fresh horseradish, attain a level of sophistication otherwise unavailable in Rockie.
