Overview
Bianchetto wins truffle month — the Italian wine and cocktail bar in Kew has transformed into a mossy truffle forest where you're invited to forage through the lush foliage with the help of Clara, Bianchetto's Brittany spaniel-in-residence.
It also sets the scene for an exclusive truffle tasting menu by owner-chef Joe Vargetto, featuring dishes like truffle-infused teleggio risotto and a truffle ricotta cheesecake topped with truffled honey. Each dish is served on tableware from Staub's White Truffle collection (a fitting debut for the French brand's latest release), which customers can browse at the bar's pop-up truffle shop. While Bianchetto only seats 28 people for the Truffle Month menu every night, you can sample the items à la carte in the Mister Bianco dining room.
On August 27, Mister Bianco will host its annual truffle dinner. The grand affair starts with a welcome drink before moving into five tartufo-speckled courses paired with Australian and Italian wines. Expect already-decadent dishes infused with truffle at every turn, like duck liver parfait and brioche entrée, stracciatella and chestnut mushroom gnocchi, steak with a side of foie gras, and tiramisu eclair. For those craving a meatier truffle season experience, visit Mister Bianco's website for more information.
