Monster Kitchen and Bar

Across the sprawling ground-floor lobby of the Ovolo Nishi hotel in the NewActon precinct, this highly acclaimed, hatted dining destination boasts one of the city's most incredible architectural fitouts. While famous as a restaurant, the dramatic space features multiple distinct drinking zones, including cozy candlelit libraries, comfortable fireside couches, and a spectacular Mosaic Room. Expert mixologists craft boundary-pushing signature cocktails at the central terrazzo bar, supported by a world-class wine list that focuses on local cool-climate makers and unique European imports.
