The Sunday roast is a tradition for a reason; however at Emporium Hotel's Signature Restaurant, it's facing some stiff competition for five weeks in August and September. Fancy swapping your usual end-of-weekend lunch for plenty of truffles? Well, that's what's on the menu at the South Bank spot.
For five weeks between Sunday, August 9–Sunday, September 6, with sittings between 12–2.30pm, Signature is hosting Signature Sunday Truffle Lunches — and truffles from two farms, including one from the Scenic Rim, feature heavily. They're part of the opening dish, which pairs scallops with parmesan and black garlic gnocchi, cauliflower puree and truffle emulsion. They also pop up in the gruyere panna cotta with prosciutto, green bean and truffle vinaigrette. Then there's the quail ravioli with truffle veloute, as well as the wagyu beef with truffle jus. For dessert, prepare to tuck into black truffle silken caramel with truffle honey and mandarin.
This five-course truffle-filled degustation will set you back $75 — or you can add matching local wines for an extra $25.
Signature Restaurant's Signature Sunday Truffle Lunches run from 12–2.30pm on Sundays between Sunday, August 9–Sunday, September 6. Contact the restaurant to make a booking.
