What did we eat 3 million years ago? Roots Restaurant is decorated with 14 photo panels – printed onto glass and canvas – featuring larger-than-life close up images of some of the foods that evolving humans would have eaten - honey, grubs, ants, insects, mushrooms, oysters, fish, meat, fruit, leaves and of course ROOTS!
The dining experience is sophisticated – tables are large, table tops are smooth mahogany, table cloths and serviettes are textured thick cotton. The chairs are plush and upholstered – some of these have wooden armrests with patterns ground into them, while others have been covered in thick embroidered floral fabric. The colour palette is warm shades of ruby, orange, aubergine, and mustard, with the slightest touch of leaf green. The restaurant has three spaces – the main dining hall, the outside deck and the private dining area with its own fireplace. Visit the Roots website |
