Lobster & Co at Arts Centre Melbourne
This indulgent riverside pop-up is back for a luxe summer appearance, only serving lobster rolls with truffle fries and glasses of champagne.
Overview
Sometimes, your tastebuds crave something special. They hanker for the kind of dish you're not going to eat every day, aka a treat yo'self type of culinary experience. Here are three things that they'd likely demand in that situation: lobster, truffles and champagne.
If that sounds like your idea of an indulgent meal, Lobster & Co has you sorted until Sunday, January 15 at the Arts Centre Forecourt, all as part of its summer food offering. During another season of decadence, you'll only find those three aforementioned items on the menu; the Lobster & Co van is solely serving lobster rolls with truffle fries and flutes of Pommery champagne.
Prices start at $50 for the food combo, which features a whole confit lobster tail sourced from Western Australia, served warm on a caramelised brioche bun with buttermilk fennel slaw, plus a side of parmesan truffle fries. A chilled glass of the champers will cost you $20 extra.
Pull up a seat at one of the umbrellaed tables on the forecourt to enjoy your lobster, chips and bubbles while gazing out over the Yarra, and well and truly soak in summer — Melbourne's version of it, at least.
Generally, Lobster & Co operates Wednesday–Sunday, but dates and times vary over the holidays — so keep an eye on the pop-up's website.
