The Roe
/The Roe Australia seamlessly marries innovative cuisine and a commitment to ocean conservation. Formerly known as Uniboomboom, this unique restaurant has rebranded itself to reflect its profound focus on utilising fresh sea urchin as the core ingredient for their dishes, alongside other premium seafood.
Expect to find a menu which celebrates the beauty and bounty of the sea, one sea urchin at a time. Think sashimi platters and seafood hot pots!
The Roe Australia also serves as an immersive gallery that educates diners about the fascinating world of sea urchins and their significance in Australia's ecosystem. The gallery provides a window into the world of these enigmatic marine creatures, allowing guests to learn about their habitat, role in the ecosystem, and the environmental challenges they pose.
In recent years, the sea urchin population has seen a significant surge, posing a threat to kelp forests along Australia's eastern coast. The Roe Australia has taken up the mantle of ocean conservation by encouraging responsible and sustainable dining practices. By incorporating sea urchins into their menu, the restaurant is making a tangible impact on the ecosystem. Their customers' collective effort, consuming 10 metric tonnes of sea urchins per year, helps maintain a balance in marine ecosystems and support the preservation of kelp forests.
Within the restaurant's premises, The Roe Shop beckons diners to take a piece of the experience home with them. The shop showcases an array of artisanal products that celebrate the essence of The Roe's culinary philosophy. From premium seafood condiments to handcrafted sea-themed artworks and tableware, each item embodies the restaurant's commitment to excellence and sustainability.
