STAR chef Neil Perry will soon be selling Melbourne tap water for $9.50 at his flagship restaurants.
Customers will be offered “Melbourne’s best” tap water — still or sparkling after it is filtered, chilled and carbonated on site at Perry’s Rockpool Bar and Gril, Spice Temple and Rosetta, all at Crown.
Perry is banishing imported Italian mineral water in favour of the local “table water”. Both still and sparkling versions are $9.50 for a 750ml bottle.
Whether Perry’s regulars will fork out for filtered Melbourne water remains to be seen. Even Rockpool Group manager Vanessa Crichton admitted: “A lot of our guests don’t want bottled water unless it is imported.’’
Whatever the outcome, Perry’s bold decision, influenced by ethics and economics, will open floodgates.
