Doot Doot Doot x ALT Pasta Bar Lunch at Jackalope Hotel
ALT is leaving the CBD for a day to collaborate on a long lunch involving copious amounts of pasta.
Overview
Looking for an excuse to skip the city this weekend? You could dissolve in mineral springs in Daylesford, get back to nature in Gippsland, or head to Broken Hill for art, stars and country pubs.
But, for something totally different, you might consider Jackalope Weekend. From Friday, June 13-Sunday, June 15, the Mornington Peninsula's highly luxe Jackalope Hotel is offering all kinds of adventures — from a whisky tasting by a roaring bonfire to a dinner collaboration with Yugen Dining. And the finale is a long lunch with ALT Pasta Bar in Jackalope's Doot Doot Doot restaurant.
The menu promises a collision of Korean brilliance and Italian decadence. Start with snacks of chestnut agnolotti, truffle and duck tea, and wagyu tartare with duck fat kataifi and charcoal mayo.
Next up is a scallop crudo entrée with preserved persimmon and dash pearls. Mains include squid ink spaghetti with spanner crab, bisque and pastrami powder, as well as porchetta with Jerusalem artichoke puree, cime di papa and salsa verde. And dessert? Tiramisu with chestnut crème, mascarpone and tonka bean.
Tickets for lunch are $130 per person, with matching wines on offer for $85. If you're pretty sure one lunch won't be enough, stay all weekend with an all-inclusive package. They start at $3,099.
