A celebration of the season

Known for their beautiful colours, unique shapes and rich, complex flavours, heirloom tomatoes are something special.

Cooked over wood fire to enhance their natural sweetness and add a subtle smoky depth, then paired with capsicum ketchup and bistek chimichurri for a vibrant balance of sweet, smoky and tangy flavours.

A celebration of the humble tomato, with a Rothko twist.

Sides for the table. Because the little extras make all the difference. 🍽️

At Rothko, sharing is at the heart of how we dine. From bold flavours to creative combinations, our sides are designed to complement the main event (although they might just steal the show).

Freshly prepared, beautifully plated and made to be passed around the table.
