Lobster & Co

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 probably demand in that situation: lobster, truffles and champagne.

If that sounds like your idea of an indulgent meal, Lobster & Co has you sorted between Wednesday, January 12–Sunday, February 20, which is when it's popping up in Melbourne on the Arts Centre Forecourt. You'll only really find those three aforementioned items on the menu, too; it's solely serving up lobster rolls with truffle fries and glasses of Piper Heidsieck champagne.

You'll pay $50 for the food combo, which features a whole confit lobster tail sourced from The Geraldton Fishermen's Co-op in Western Australia, as served on a caramelised brioche bun with buttermilk fennel slaw, plus a side of parmesan truffle fries. As for the champers, a flute of that that 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.
