A Delicious Dessert Tasting Menu

Overview

Adulting can suck sometimes but there is one major positive: you can eat dessert for dinner and nobody can stop you. And you'll feel like the fanciest kidult on the block when you sit down to this dessert tasting menu at Bennelong. Throughout March, the stunning fine diner is offering a four-course menu featuring some of chef Peter Gilmore's best desserts.

The menu includes tasting size versions of the crème caramel vs mille-feuille, the white peach bellini and, of course, Gilmore's legendary lamington — sponge cake, coconut ice cream and cherry jam slathered with chocolate ganache and served in a bed of coconut milk parfait shavings.

The finale to the sweet degustation is Bennelong's signature dessert. Taking inspiration from the restaurant's famed setting within the Sydney Opera House, the pavlova consists of a rhubarb and raspberry centre covered in carefully piped double cream and meringue, and finished with shards of meringue to mimic the Opera House sails.

This special menu is on offer at the restaurant's bar as part of Delicious Month Out. It'll set you back $60 per person — not bad, considering the white peach bellini and lamington are normally $28 each.

The dessert tasting menu is available at the Bennelong Bar with limited bookings available, but walk-ins also welcome.
