Rooftop Harvest: Meet the Masters at The Calile Hotel
Guided by Ada Lane's chefs and sommeliers, the next instalment of this elevated dining series brings guests closer to their food.
Overview
When it comes to Australia's top hotels, The Calile isn't just one of Brisbane's best; it's among the most acclaimed in the world. But don't just take our word for it — The Calile recently made the prestigious World's Best 50 Hotels list for the third year running. Forming part of its outstanding experience, the hotel's ongoing culinary series, Rooftop Harvest, honours our connection to food by featuring produce grown amid its verdant rooftop garden.
With past instalments featuring Sydney-based cocktail savants OK Cantina! and much-loved cook and best-selling author Julia Busuttil Nishimura, the next event in the Rooftop Harvest series is doing things a little differently. Featuring the gastronomic minds behind Ada Lane — The Calile's micro-dining strip — Meet the Masters brings this talented collective together to serve a seven-course degustation centred around a single outdoor long table.
With each course introduced by the chef or sommelier who created it, the evening features a host of familiar faces, including SK Steak & Oyster, Hellenika, sAme sAme, Bianca, Lobby Bar, Cru Bar, The Standard Market Company and, of course, the team behind The Calile. Taking place on Tuesday, February 24 at 6pm, diners can expect shared meat and seafood dishes, complemented by seasonal produce from the rooftop and paired wines with every course.
However, Meet the Masters also serves a higher purpose. Highlighting Sea Forest — an environmental technology company using Asparagopsis seaweed to reduce livestock emissions — all proceeds from the dinner support the Sea Forest Foundation as it restores kelp forests along Tasmania's coastline. "Our purpose goes beyond providing memorable experiences," says The Calile General Manager, Chris Kemlo. "Supporting the Sea Forest Foundation allows us to contribute to pioneering solutions for our community and the environment."
