Truffle Melbourne Festival

Overview

Stuff yourself full of truffles at the Prahran Market this weekend, as chefs and producers from all around town pay tribute to that most flavoursome of fungi. Returning for its second year, the Truffle Melbourne Festival will feature cooking demonstrations, market stalls and truffle tastings galore, celebrating what many call the diamond of the kitchen.

Running 10am till 5pm on Saturday and 10am till 3pm on Sunday, the festival promises to be a truffle lovers paradise. Acclaimed local chefs including Paul Wilson, Guy Grossi and Philippe Mouchel will showcase their culinary prowess in a series of live demonstrations, while four-legged truffle hunters Spice and Arrow will be roaming around the market all weekend long.

But the real selling point in the mouth-watering festival menu, featuring everything from truffle cheeseburgers to French crepes with truffle butter. There'll also be plenty of truffle products available to purchase, so you can recreate the experience at home.
