Stop and Smell the Rosé

Overview

Spring has officially sprung, and Entrecôte is celebrating with its new long boozy lunch special Stop and Smell the Rosé. The renowned French restaurant has teamed up with Miraval Côtes de Provence (from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's infamous vineyard), Sieur D'Arques, Lyv, and Domaine De La Croix to bring together the ultimate partnership of French wine and cuisine.

From Monday, October 21–Friday, November 15, you can enjoy an elegant four-course lunch — curated by Entrecôte's Head Chef Timothy Menger — with each dish paired with a glass of French rosé. 

The menu begins with bouchée de concombre canapés served alongside the Sieur d'Arques sparkling rosé. This is followed by either the asparagus with mayonnaise mousseline and lemon and macadamia pistou, or the saffron king prawns — both are paired with a delicate and aromatic Lyv rosé.

For the mains, guests can choose between petit poulet à la sauce bocuse (a chicken dish with corn puree and mustard and tarragon sauce) or the grilled fish of the day, served with sauce gribiche and pomme frites. Elevate the rich flavours of each main with the aid of a versatile Miraval Côtes de Provence rosé. And to complement the fraise et rosé (a berry-filled rosé ice cream dessert), the Entrecote crew is serving the Domaine de la Croix le cap. Guests can choose between lunch with half-pour (75ml) wine pairings for $90 and $110 for a full pour (150ml). 

This limited-time offer will be held in the new conservatoire, an ode to glamorous Parisian courtyards and indoor gardens. This luxe partnership offers Melbournians the chance to experience the essence of France right in their own city — sans plane fare to Paris.
