Rydges Geelong has opened the doors to a completely new dining experience, Nautica Pool Bar & Kitchen, featuring indoor and alfresco dining and bar – making it the perfect place to unwind, relax and escape, even if only for an afternoon.
Under experienced Executive Chef Eddie Basich, Nautica Pool Bar and Kitchen features a menu inspired by fresh, locally-sourced produce and a cocktail menu boasting favourites, like Negroni and French Martinis, alongside fresh and delicious twists on the classics, like the Blood Orange Mojito and Pomegranate Spritz.
The menu offers something for everyone, from rolls and bowls to larger plates, pizzas and a range of meats from the grill, perfect for sharing. There is also a Feasting Menu (for groups of four or more) designed to take guests on a journey through some of Nautica’s best dishes, including Yellowfin tuna ceviche with lemon oil, fennel and capers; Furphy battered fish with crunchy fries and lemon and herb mayo; Chicken schnitzel, celeriac and apple slaw and fries; and the Nautica ice cream sundae.
The restaurant seats 130 people and includes a 26-seat private dining room, Ms Nautica, perfect for corporate and private events. For a more casual experience Friday afternoons are Happy Hour (from 5pm to 7pm), complete with live music.
Grant Melville, General Manager, Rydges Geelong said, “Nautica has been designed to present hotel guests and the local community a great new option for delicious dining, weekend drinks, after work catch ups, corporate events and parties – it is the perfect place for a long lunch, client meeting or a relaxed sundowner.
“Located steps from the hustle of the Geelong CBD, guests can expect a relaxed menu, a space inspired by the coast and a calendar full of events including Martini Mondays, Eat Happy Tuesdays, FOMO Fridays and Saturdaze.”
Nautica Pool Bar & Kitchen is open for breakfast (buffet breakfast) 6.30am – 9.30am Monday to Friday and 7am – 10.30am weekends and public holidays; lunch 11.30am – 2.00pm; and dinner 5.30pm until late.
