Dock 18 - Kurunjang

Went to Dock 18 for their Smoke, Beer and Whisky menu with Starward Whisky and Temple Brewery absolutely loved the experience. My stand outs have to be the heirloom carrots, carbonara, beef ribs and for dessert, the must have is the smoked brownie. The cocktails and smoked beer paired with each dish were also amazing!

From the months of October through to the end of January, Dock 18 are celebrating the flavours of local brewery Temple Brewing and whisky distillery Starward Whisky with their Smoke, Beer and Whisky menu. The menu features several drinks and dishes that hero products from Temple Brewing and Starward Whisky among other favourites. Created fittingly just for the occasion is Temple Brewing’s limited edition smoked beer which can be ordered as a taster. There’s something about being served in an adorable sized pint that makes the beer more palatable can you tell I’m not the biggest beer fan? not to mention the unique smoky characteristic.

Visited Dock 18 who are hosted by Four Points Melbourne to try out their Smoke, Beer and Whiskey Journey and was pleasantly surprised especially because I’m not a huge beer or whiskey fan.<br/ <br/ All the flavours were brilliantly infused into the food, so compliments to the chef.<br/ <br/ The menu showcased Victoria's best local produce and perfectly paired them with Temple Brewery Smoked Beer and exclusively crafted cocktails by Sacha the Global Brand Educator from Statward Whiskey. ⁣<br/ ⁣<br/ My highlights included the Reverse seared 72-hour sous vide Gippsland Valley beef rib, the Smoked brownie and drink: Red grape, riberry, and citrus soda with Two-Fold whisky<br/ <br/ Would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone even if you aren’t a beer or whiskey fan!

I recently visited Dock 18 Resteraunt to try their Smoked Beer and whiskey menu. All dishes tasted at this event incorporated smoking techniques from Starward Whisky and Temple Brewing. <br/ <br/ Top 4 dishes: <br/ <br/ 1) Sumac smoked kohlrabi fritters, vegan mayo, house pickles<br/ <br/ 2) Reverse seared 72 hour sous vide Gippsland Valley beef rib, Starward whiskey BBQ sauce<br/ <br/ 3)Smoked whole fried baby barramundi, Okinawa Sour XO sauce<br/ <br/ 4) Smoked brownie, salted caramel, whisky ice cream<br/ <br/ All food was immaculate in terms of presentation and tasted delicious. <br/ Service was highly efficient and the cockails were very refreashing.<br/  Dock 18 would be the perfect place for a light lunch or decadent dinning experience.

I wouldn't normally eat at a hotel of a restaurant because I like to explore the city that I'm in however I may make an exception for this one.<br/ <br/ I was invited to a Smoked Beer whiskey event where we tried dishes that Incorporated smoking techniques, Starward Whisky and Temple Brewing beer.<br/ <br/ As far as the quality of the food it was top-notch and he puts his creative and technical skills to the max.<br/ <br/ Service was really good but I expect that from a hotel which tram makes me think that hotel staff should train all restaurant staff in the future.<br/ <br/ Dock 18 restaurant definitely open my mind to what hotel restaurants can do. Definitely worth the visit if you're staying in Melbourne or if you happen to be in Docklands.
