Live fire, a little salt air, the fundamentals at heart.
Matines is a coastal bar and grill where the sear is elemental, the provisions are local and the martini arrives exactly when it should.
The kitchen runs on coal and conviction. South Australian seafood, produce from farms worth knowing by name, a wine list that travels through time from the Adelaide Hills to the Spanish coast. The bread is fermented. The salts are house-made. The details, taken care of.
Matines is for the long lunch that earns its hours and the dinner that needed a reservation. In between, there's the quick drink that turns into the whole evening, the table by the window that becomes yours, the finisher by the fire.
Come for the grill, stay for the bar. The view is complimentary.
Matines Rooftop Bar and Grill is open for lunch and dinner. The classics are always on, and the rest takes care of itself.
