Living Room's Fondue Menu
W Hotel is serving up gooey cheese and chocolate — and you can even spike it with booze.
Overview
If there's ever been a dish that's tailor-made for winter, it's fondue. Sure, it instantly conjures up visions of the 60s and 70s, but dipping bread, fruit, marshmallows and more into hot, melted cheese or chocolate is as timeless as it is delicious.
It's also the centrepiece of Living Room's new menu, with W Brisbane's resident bar getting gooey in a big way. Designed for at least two people, there's two options available. Feeling like something sweet? Then stick strawberries, mini waffles, honeycomb, raspberry muffins, or pancake and croissant pieces into a tub of Valrhona chocolate. Fancy something savoury? Do the same with apricots, figs, dates, charcoal breadsticks, dehydrated banana pieces, seasonal mushrooms, and Woombye washrind and triple cream brie.
Your fondue date will set you back $49, and you get your gang in on the action for an extra $24.50 per person — up to six people in total. You can also spike your chocolate fondue for an extra $20, with espresso martini, brandy alexander, whisky and Kahlua on offer
Running from Thursday to Saturday each week from 4pm, Living Room's new menu also features oysters, truffle fries, sardines with sourdough, soft lobster sandwiches and charcoal sliders.
And, if you're looking for something to wash it all down with, you'll find plenty of bubbles. Champagne flights are available, each featuring three different glasses for between $48–100, so consider this a treat yo'self kind of outing.
