Congress x Lagoon Dining – POSTPONED

Overview

UPDATE Monday, July 18: This In Good Company event has been postponed until later in the year. We'll let you know the new date once confirmed. See the website for further details.

Congress really lives up to its name with its collaboration dining series, teaming up with some well-known hospitality mates for a meeting of minds — a forum of flavour and congress of culinary delights, if you like. And for the next instalment of In Good Company, the Collingwood wine bar is heading over to Carlton's Lagoon Dining for a border-tripping lunch feast to remember.

On Sunday, July 24, these two acclaimed kitchens will combine their talents to deliver a share-friendly lineup of snacks, mains and sides, cleverly incorporating flavours from across China and Europe, with a sprinkling of Japanese influence for good measure.

Diners are in for an adventurous, yet considered ride — a Sichuan riff on kangaroo pastrami featuring smoked cultured cream and yuba (dried beancurd skin); whipped prawn teamed with witlof, finger lime and chilli jam; and a Cantonese-style revival of Congress' legendary pig's head sanga. Oh, and some yuzu and sourdough miso bon bons to finish.

Tickets are $120, which includes a spritz on arrival.
