Bastille Day at Albert St Food & Wine
The ultimate Bastille Day feast for Francophiles and lovers of good food.
Overview
A Francophile is many things. They are passionate about France, bang on (and on) about French food, French wine and French country houses, and seem to know exactly how to piss everyone off with their incessant French-ness. It's enough to ruin friendships — except when it comes to Bastille Day.
Commemorating the storming of the Bastille, the 14th of July is a celebration of everything French that everyone can get on board with, particularly foodies. And all you have to do its travel to Brunswick, not Bordeaux. This year Albert St Food & Wine is celebrating Bastille Day on the Sunday prior with a hunter's feast, inspired by chef Jason Rodwell's own travels through regional France.
A wine-marinated boar (apple in mouth and all) will form the centrepiece of the feast, complete with Albert St's hors d’oeuvres and champagne. The evening will, of course, be topped off with dessert: L'Artisan's The Authentic cheese washed in-house with Chablis and poached pears and hazelnuts, with a warm waffle and salted caramel ice cream.
You don't have to be a Francophile to appreciate this feast.
