Cherries Jubilee at Gimlet
Gimlet at Cavendish House is sweetening up its late-night menu with a cherry-themed twist, just in time for the holiday season.
Overview
Cherry season is here, and Gimlet at Cavendish House has decided to get in on this sweet time of year by creating a festive-themed cherry masterpiece. Cherries Jubilee will play a starring role in Gimlet's supper menu, which is only available after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
The dish is a performance, prepared tableside for a dramatic flair — it's perfect if you want to impress your latest right swipe. Fresh local cherries are flambéed with kirsch, cognac, orange peel and lemon verbena. It's served with whipped cream, kirsch-soaked baba and Gimlet's house-made pistachio gelato.
The dessert will take the place of the Crêpes Suzette — but don't worry, it'll be a temporary adieu, as the Cherries Jubilee will only be available until the end of January. As for cost, it'll set you back $50, and serves two.
While you're there, you will want to try the rest of the supper menu. Grab yourself a Livener cocktail (Tanqueray gin, champagne, raspberry and lemon) and some oysters, if it's that kind of night. The pipe rigate with blue swimmer crab is always a winner, and the Gippsland strip steak will serve you well. But if there's one thing on the menu you simply must order along with your Cherries Jubilee, it's the cheeseburger. You can thank us later.
The Gimlet Supper Menu is available Fridays and Saturdays from 10pm. Find Gimlet at Cavendish House at 33 Russell St, Melbourne.
