Sirocco Restaurant Bar - Nacka

The Holiday Inn Potts Point in Kings Cross is only a stones throw from the Coca Cola sign. It is an area that is replacing night clubs with a thriving restaurant scene. The Holiday Inn has comfortable rooms with all of the required amenities and the location allowing guests to book rooms overlooking Sydney's famous harbour landscape and cityscape, as well as the botanic gardens. It is a great place to explore Sydney from. The hotel restaurant Siricco caters to visitors and locals alike. The recently upgraded Sirocco resraurant has a large open kitchen and chic dining space, providing meals through out the day. With the $25 buffet breakfast being a great opportunity to try the honey produced on site by an urban beehive situated on the roof of the hotel. There are also smaller options and ala carte available. The Sirocco menu has something for everyone with a range of entrees, salads, pizza, pasta and items from the grill. There is also an option to build your own burger. Sirocco also offers reasonably priced meals for hotel guests and locals with $12 daily meal specials $15 with a drink. They have a great drink menu with a great range of alcoholic beverages availible including some nice wines. They also have variety of non alcoholic options including juices, coffee and teas. The sharing menu is perfect for a group meal or if you are visiting for a corporate event. With some morish starters including the crispy fried salt pepper calamari, marinated fried chicken and for a healthy touch: the roasted and pickled baby beetroot salad. For mains, a favourite was the BBQ share platter. With a stack of mouth watering meat options including the BBQ blasted pork ribs, scotch fillet steak and served with onion rings. There is also the tasty grilled Atlantic salmon share plate. Now for the sweetest thing- dessert. The creamy Baileys Creme Brulee and the di vinely silky Honey Panacotta made with the honey sourced from their own urban beehive situated on the roof of the hotel. Thanks to The Holiday Inn Potts Point and Sirocco for the hospitality.

Nice selection of buffet for breakfast. Went with colleagues and enjoyed it. Was sad though that the juice station finished fast and there was plenty of time left for the buffet and it wasn't replenished.

People forget that you don't have to be a hotel guest to enjoy 4 star luxury! The new upgrade to Holiday Inn Potts Point's flagship bistro features historical prints on the walls from the National Archives, an open kitchen and on it's rooftop, harbors beehives in which honey is extracted and used in their Panacotta! What's surprising are the substantial proportions of entrees, mains and share plates priced very competitively in comparison to other venues in the area making it the perfect destination for both the visiting traveller and nearby residents. Kids under 12 even dine for free with an adult paid main now that's value. The new menu is hearty, comforting and uncomplicated. An after work meet up called for an epic feast. Entrees, could seriously be a meal on their own! There's a perfect balance in the CRISPY FRIED SALT PEPPER SQUID many places in my opinion go a bit too far with the salty element, but they've toned it down here which is really to my preference! The MARINATED FRIED CHICKEN features cornbread, baby rocket and jalapeño aioli and there's a mix of ideas in this remnant of the deep south of the U.S.A with hints of Latin America, set to guarantee this as a major favorite. Aesthetically, the ROASTED PICKLED BABY BEETROOT SALAD wins hands down and delivers some seriously tantalizing flavor. Jeweled burgundy beet rough cuts pearl white blobs of bocconcini on a bed of baby spinach greenery, sprouts of lentil, specks of quinoa is an orgy of texture play with an intermittent crunch from the caramelized walnuts. It's all bound together with a cooked wine dressing (Vincotto). Exquisite. Share platters of CHAR GRILLED SCOTCH FILLET PORK RIBS and GRILLED ATLANTIC SALMON were the perfect mains from land and sea. Chunky cuts of Salmon, large ribs and well cooked steak. It was a smorgasbord of sweet and sour. The homemade BAILEY'S CREME BRULEE was a nice change from the standard vanilla custard cliche, simple and satisfying. However, it's the ROOFTOP HONEY PANACOTTA that is a must should you be forced to choose between the two. The taste of honey is unique to the pollen collected by Sydney working bees, and on the rooftop are a number of hives that the Holiday Inn Sirocco Kitchen extract this SydneyCity honey from! From Rushcutters Bay Park to Hyde Park or even the Royal Botanic Gardens, it truly is a unique flavor you can only find here if you know your honeys... Our service attendant Karishma was a pro. After all, it's the hotel industry that set the standards of service every high end dining venue aspires to and she and the staff seem to manage the wide space of busy tables well, perfectly timing the delivery of courses and maintaining a good rapport without being too intrusive to your dining experience. Definitely a surprise and a venue not to overlook just as a haven for travelers! A great untapped local hangout for sure!

I enjoyed both in room dinner and then breakfast from Sirocco at Holiday Inn Potts Point. The in room dining I ordered was a Creamy Tomato and Basil Soup and a Green Garden Salad. The soup was a pleasant surprise it arrived piping hot which is hard to achieve for room service and it was full of flavour. However, with the sour cream already mixed in I found it a little rich. The Green Garden Salad was certainly that green. There were mixed leaves, cucumber, capsicum and avocado all green, no other colour to be seen. The ingredients were all fresh though. My breakfast in the restaurant at the buffet was very nice. The range of foods is broad, with nice fresh fruit including berries and several hot and varied dishes to suit all tastes. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, so even though it was busy it didn't seem crazy. Overall, the dining here is good and the coffee is great. I would come back again. Thank you.
