Sydney’s The Roosevelt has recently undergone a facelift and changed the focus of its food offer.
The venue has introduced a ‘Diner with a Twist’ theme, spearheaded by its new head chef Andrew Braham, who has created an Americana Tapas menu inspired by the traditional American diner.
“We’ve always been known for our cocktails and were even shortlisted for World’s Best Cocktail List at Tales of the Cocktail 2013. With the introduction of this new menu, we hope to capture the fun and friendly vibe of the American diner experience, while introducing more people to the great food offering at The Roosevelt,” said Speakeasy Group owner Sven Almenning.
The American diner influences are not restricted to just the food menu, with a new selection of innovative nitro shakes and sorbets added to the cocktail list.
“Milkshakes are a diner staple and The Roosevelt is renown for its innovative cocktail menu. So we think our nitro version of a milkshake, which includes all fresh ingredients and quality liquor whipped together with liquid nitrogen to create smooth and delicious shake, will be a great addition to the Roosevelt’s legendary menu while ticking some key Americana boxes,” Almenning said.
