Broadhseet

Banoffee waffles for breakfast, Moreton Bay bug pasta for lunch, steak for dinner and views on the side.

Rudolph’s menu has a strong seafood and local produce focus, as well as plenty of meat dishes to honour its roots as a butcher shop. There is lamb shoulder for two and a handful of steaks, including the grass-fed black Angus flat iron, and a Wagyu sirloin. The design has plenty of bottle green, dark timber and hanging pots and pans. The illuminated Butcher’s Block sign is a nice touch.

For breakfast there’s a crab omelette (with chilli masala, apple, celery and herbs), Banoffee waffles (banana, ginger butterscotch sauce, vanilla mascarpone and roasted almonds) and lamb sausages served with bacon, chorizo, eggs and chipotle beans. You might need a nap after.

The Butcher’s Block is on the harbour, with Pyrmont off into the distance. There is outdoor seating and plenty of large windows that slide open to bring the outside into the dining room. We reckon when the weather is warm and there’s a slight breeze, a Butcher’s Mistress (gin, lychee, lime and basil) might be a good thing to order.
