Celebrate the festive season under the guidance of executive head chef Richard Hooper

Since its pre-COVID inception in 2019, Nautica Restaurant has been a hub of gastronomic delight.

Now, with the addition of new executive head chef Richard Hooper and his culinary prowess, the voyage to exquisite dining experiences continues.

Hooper, with a rich experience spanning 30 years across Australia and internationally, brings a refreshing perspective to Nautica’s offerings.

Hooper’s commitment to showcasing the best of local and seasonal produce, particularly from the bountiful Bellarine region, is a testament to his dedication. His deep passion for culinary artistry resonates through his menu, thoughtfully designed for sharing, encouraging guests to embark on a communal journey of taste.

Situated at 89-105 Gheringhap Street, Geelong, Nautica’s location is as inviting as its menu.

With an ambiance inspired by the Geelong seaside, the interiors showcase cosy banquet seating nestled in intimate corners, royal blue chairs harmonizing with pale timber tables, and subtle terrazzo tiles adding a touch of elegance.

The well-appointed bar seamlessly connects to an outdoor terrace, promising idyllic moments for those sunny afternoon knock-off drinks.

In the heart of Geelong, Nautica Restaurant is more than a dining establishment; it’s a culinary journey of the senses.

With executive head chef Richard Hooper at the helm, Nautica beckons you to savor each moment, where every bite tells a story of the region, and every visit becomes a cherished memory.

With capacity to cater from 14 guests for an intimate private dining experience to 600 guests at a cocktail-style event, providing the perfect opportunity to celebrate the festive season with colleagues, family or friends. This charming setting is ideal for celebrating birthdays, hosting corporate dinners, or commemorating milestones in style.

Hold your Christmas or end-of-year celebrations at Rydges Geelong and let the team provide a memorable experience. For a festive start, opt for drinks and canapes by the pool or in Nautica Bar, and maybe add a personalised touch with our bespoke private dining.
