With its modern, multi-level design and striking decor, Radii is adaptable to anything from special occasion dining to business breakfasts. It has retained a feeling of grandeur over the years, yet can still feel intimate. Tables spread over several levels to retain a feeling of privacy, some even enjoying occasional glimpses into the clamour and energy of the large open kitchen. There are also two private dining rooms for anyone seeking to celebrate an extra special occasion. You can take the open kitchen concept one step further and book the chef’s table. Located in the heart of the restaurant and presided over by the chef himself, it makes for an interactive dining experience.

Chef Sean Cummings brings to Radii a simple yet elegant, locally-derived menu which offers superior contemporary dining. Start with a king prawn cocktail or a vine-ripened cherry tomato tart tatin with goat’s cheese before sampling main fare such as duck confit with warm lentil and orange salad and star anise jus, twice cooked pork belly with cauliflower puree and shallot and apple crumble or Kinkawooka black mussels with white wine, mustard and parsley. Meat lovers can also enjoy a selection of meats and seafood from the grill and the restaurant’s wine list is extensive and varied. Sweet finishes might include chocolate fondant with orange ice-cream and pistachio tuille, lemon tart with a pine nut crust served with Persian fairy floss or mango parfait and meringue tubes.
