What Our Rooftop Adds to a Meal

Our venue offers a rooftop bar experience, giving guests a different setting beyond the main dining room. It suits everything from a relaxed drink before dinner to a longer catch up with friends. 

Making the Most of Your Visit

A few ways to plan around the rooftop, depending on what you’re after. 

  • Book a table for dinner and head up for drinks after 
  • Combine a rooftop drink with a dine-in meal 
  • Ask about bespoke catering for events using the space 

The Same Menu, A Different Setting 

Whether you’re upstairs or in the main dining room, the same menu applies, cooked fresh once you order it. 

Dine In Downstairs or Head Up for Drinks 

Our full dine-in experience is available either way, so you can choose the setting that suits your evening. 

Dietary Needs Still Fully Catered For 

Coeliac, halal, vegan, and other dietary requirements are handled the same way, no matter where you’re seated. 

Wider Dietary Care at Rick’s Place

  • Coeliac diners, with dedicated fryers and blanching pots 
  • Halal certified meat and poultry, with no wine used in sauces 
  • Vegetarian and vegan options through our vegan menu 
  • Low FODMAP and lower carb dishes 

Getting There 

Our location sits on Macaulay Road, close to shops and the everyday buzz of the city.

What Our Guests Are Saying

We’re proud to be a favourite dining destination for locals and visitors alike.

Love going to Rick’s Restaurant, very welcoming and warm. The food is delicious, with refreshing drinks. Very nice design and spacious. It’s a local, easy to get to Italian restaurant in Kensington.

Caitlin Symons

Our mains, Lamb shank and Surf n Turf, not only looked beautiful but were delicious. The wine selection is also great, matching the different dishes on the menu.
