A Thoughtfully Curated Menu

Barramundi Croquettes with Confit Garlic

Paired with Tempus Two Copper Prosecco, this dish kicks off the evening with a light, yet flavourful start. The crisp croquettes are balanced beautifully by the sparkling notes of the Prosecco, cleansing your palate with each bite and sip.

Grilled Scallop with Roast Cauliflower Puree

Next, you’ll experience the delicate sweetness of scallop enhanced by the roasted cauliflower puree, paired expertly with Tempus Two Silver Pinot Gris. The wine’s floral and fruity notes make this dish sing.

Zucchini Flowers with Paprika Aioli

For something a little different, the Zucchini Flowers are served with a smoky paprika aioli, perfectly complemented by McGuigan’s Single Batch Dry Rosé. The dryness of the rosé offsets the richness of the aioli, making it an ideal pairing.

Confit Pork Belly with Asian Sauce

Nepenthe’s Altitude Pinot Noir, with its soft tannins and hints of red berries, enhances the umami flavours of this dish. The richness of the confit pork belly is balanced by the wine's earthy undertones, creating a harmonious taste experience.

Polenta, Mushroom with Truffle Sauce & Parmesan Crisps

Rich and earthy, this course pairs with Tempus Two Copper Shiraz. The wine’s bold, peppery notes work in tandem with the truffle sauce to create a dish that’s rich in flavour and texture.

Braised Lamb Shoulder with Lamb Jus & Carrot Puree

A hearty dish that pairs beautifully with McGuigan Single Batch Cabernet Sauvignon. The flavour of the lamb is complemented by the full-bodied richness of the Cabernet, with its hints of blackcurrant and oak.

Coconut Mango Pan Cottax

inally, end the evening on a sweet note with this tropical dessert, paired with Tempus Two Copper Moscato. The sweet, light flavours of the Moscato enhance the creamy, fruity notes of the pan cotta, providing a refreshing end to the meal.
