Raclette Dinner

Overview

In French, the term raclette derives from the word for scraping. In German, the dairy delicacy was once referred to as roasted cheese. Combine the two together, and you get a great idea of just what this warm, gooey meal is all about — and Emile & Solange are serving it up for one delicious dinner.

Taking place at Vieille Branche from 6.30pm on Thursday, September 27, this feast will see a grill placed in the centre of every table. Attendees can then melt their own cheese, pour it over boiled potatoes, vegetables, smoked ham, cured meats and pickles — and then, of course, tuck in.

The $89 per person price includes a glass of sparkling on arrival, rum and vanilla-flavoured French custard pastries for dessert and a 375ml pitcher of wine per person. If you'd like more to drink, you'll need to plan in advance — you can order more for $20 per pitcher before the dinner, but you can't buy it on the night due to liquor licensing restrictions.
