Showroom Bar, the glamorous fine diner within The Royce Hotel, is set to host an exclusive one-night-only cocktail degustation in partnership with Perrier Australia on Friday 12 September 2025.
For this special evening, Showroom Bar welcomes Stefano Filardi, cocktail heavyweight from Maybe Sammy, Sydney’s celebrated bar and one of The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024. Stefano’s signature martinis and Perrier-crafted cocktails will set the stage for a night of timeless flair and sophistication.
The experience will be elevated further by Executive Chef Pawan Dutta, the creative force behind Showroom Bar and winner of Hotel Chef of the Year 2025 (Victorian Accommodation Awards for Excellence). Chef Pawan has designed a bold five-course menu—duck liver parfait with black pepper meringue and raspberries, Moreton Bay bugs with lemongrass velouté, and grilled Sher Wagyu among the highlights, all crafted to harmonise with Stefano’s inventive pairings.
Guests will sip their way through Stefano’s bespoke creations, including the bright and playful ‘Clover’ (vodka, lime and raspberry syrup), exotic ‘Krabi’ (coconut yoghurt, Tequila Blanco and Chardonnay verjus) ‘Midnight Lights’, a decadent finale of mango, single malt Scotch whisky, Suze and ginger-pink peppercorn syrup.
Set against the backdrop of The Royce’s art-deco decadence, where heritage glamour meets contemporary indulgence, the evening promises theatre at every turn. With navy velvet, royal purple accents, a sweeping marble fireplace and glittering chandelier above, the stage is set for a night of timeless sophistication.
A celebration of two masters at the height of their craft, this one-night-only event is where culinary excellence and artistry meets cocktail innovation and showmanship.
