The Rocks offers four distinct lunch experiences within one historic precinct. Whether you’re after a proper weekend roast, authentic ramen, courtyard dining with live music, or fine dining that caters perfectly to the big corporate table, it’s all here.
Weekend roast runs from 12-3pm Saturdays and Sundays, and it’s become the kind of tradition people plan their weekends around. The kitchen slow-cooks Cape Grim prime rib and serves it the proper way: Yorkshire pudding, crushed peas, sautéed baby carrots, beef fat hasselback potatoes, roast onions, red wine sauce, and horseradish cream.
The heritage basement setting is ideal for groups who want to settle in for a long lunch. Book ahead—regulars know to secure their tables early for the best roast lunch in The Rocks.
Weekdays shift focus to individual premium cuts where in-house dry-aging does the heavy lifting before grill chefs finish each steak to order. The menu also includes sustainable seafood for those not in the mood for beef.

The ramen at Saké Restaurant & Bar earns its reputation through hours of preparation most diners never see. House-made broths simmer slowly until natural umami develops properly.
Three ramen styles suit every preference. Spicy Miso builds heat gradually. Soy Tonkotsu delivers rich pork and chicken broth. The Aburamen takes a different approach—soupless ramen with premium Japanese Wagyu for a more concentrated flavour.
It’s the reliable choice in The Rocks for ramen made with traditional technique. The lunch menu also includes sushi and a 250g Blackmore Wagyu Scotch Fillet with yakiniku sauce.
Reserve your spot for an authentic Japanese lunch.
The best lunch in The Rocks comes down to what you’re after: weekend roast traditions, outdoor dining with live entertainment, fine dining, or ramen made the slow, proper way. Each venue delivers on its particular strength without trying to be everything to everyone.
