Shadow Thieves Dinner at Ombra
Join chefs from The Town Mouse, Estelle and MoVida for one epic five-course dinner.
Overview
If you've ever wanted to know what Melbourne's best chefs do in the shadows, this is your chance. After a successful August debut, Ombra's ongoing monthly dinner series, Shadow Thieves, is back for a follow up feed — and this one looks like it's going to be even better than the last.
For September, it's all about the understudies — that is, the young, up-and-coming sous chefs from the city's best restaurants. Josh Pelham of Estelle by Scott Pickett will be there, as will Peter Cooksley (The Town Mouse), Matt Hammond (Elyros), Andreas Becerra (MoVida) and McKay Wilday (Ombra). Taking on a course each, they've put together a five-course menu for the night, which you can take a peek at here. Needless to say, it's impressive.
'The Understudy' dinner will be held on Monday, October 5 at Ombra Salumi Bar on Bourke Street. A ticket will set you back $120 — but for forking out, you'll get five of Melbourne's best dishes matched with five stellar Victorian wines.
The Shadow Thieves dinners are set to continue, with nights centred around cheese, crab and spirits all in the pipeline.
