Rustica Newcastle Beach

Mediterranean dining with an emphasis on honest, superior-quality produce. . .

Meaning ‘rural’ in Italian, Rustica was inspired by the social style of Mediterranean dining, the spice of North African cuisine and the emphasis on honest, superior-quality produce; a quality you’ll find at the heart of cooking in countries of the Med Basin.

Overlooking Newcastle Beach, Rustica offers stunning views from the outdoor plaza on King Street through to our remarkable coastline across Shortland Esplanade. Not to be outshone, however, is the Dion Ackland-designed interior which features authentic and hand-crafted pieces from both local artisans and obscure foreign locations.

Our philosophy on dining is that it’s an experience to be enjoyed and remembered. In the words of Mark and Will, ‘eat, drink and be merry! ’
