The Principal

The clean and modern design of The Principal's interior mirrors its culinary philosophy: refined, with colour and texture working in perfect harmony. Designed by renowned Australian studio Hecker Guthrie, this bright airy space reflects a fresh approach to fine dining; sophisticated with a modern yet rustic feel to ensure a relaxed ambience. The restaurant stands at the site of a former school, whose principal for 14 years was the late mother of one of the Press Room Group's founders. The name - The Principal - is a tribute to her legacy. Featuring the cuisine of The Principal Executive Chef, Jonay Armas, The Principal's menu stays true to the continual exploration of new tastes, textures and techniques, using the finest ingredients and methods both traditional and innovative. The Principal celebrates fine dining that is spontaneous and unchained by convention. The carefully curated Wine Atlas contains over 750 labels from the old world and new, including some unexpected countries, with the oldest vintage dating back to 1901.
