Rothko Restaurant

Nestled within Sculptureum, Rothko Restaurant celebrates the Art of Dining, bringing creativity, flavour and a sense of
discovery to the table.

Led by Head Chef Neil Sapitula, Rothko’s menu is shaped by fire cooking, fermentation and Filipino flavours, alongside influences from the diverse cultures and backgrounds of the kitchen team. Seasonal ingredients are transformed over flame, smoke and coals, with fermentation adding depth and complexity
throughout the menu.

Designed to be shared, the menu is bold, inventive and full of unexpected touches — creating a dining experience that feels right at home amongst the art and gardens of Sculptureum.

Visit Rothko as part of your Sculptureum experience, or come simply to dine.
