Truffle Dinner at Estelle
The most decadent night of the year.
Overview
Do the truffle shuffle down to Estelle by Scott Pickett in Northcote, where for two nights only you can wolf down fabulous fungi like it's going out of style. On Wednesday, August 17 and Thursday, August 18, chef Scott Pickett will prepare a five-course truffle dinner, complete with snacks and matching wine. Excuse us for a second — we're just wiping the drool off our keyboard.
At $185 per person, this particular dinner ain't cheap – but you only have to look at the menu to appreciate why that is. From sea urchin and black truffle brioche to white rocks veal with truffle and almond, and parmesan and black truffle risoni to Great Ocean Road duck with blood orange and truffle jus, this decadent degustation smells like a truffle hog's delight. The vino, meanwhile, will come courtesy of a trio of ACT vineyards, in Helm Wines, Collector Wines and Ravensworth.
