Cronulla, Australia
Blackwood Pantry
Blackwood Pantry in Cronulla puts vegetables at the centre of the plate rather than the margin, with dishes like cinnamon-roasted pumpkin with whipped ricotta and seed granola sitting alongside carefully constructed salads of fennel, smoked almonds, and pickled pears. The kitchen, led by Rob Lechowicz, operates with a relaxed confidence that matches Cronulla's coastal register without sacrificing technical precision.
