Bar M x Ruinart Champagne Dinner

Overview

When the weather is this chilly, you have to search a little harder to find things to look forward to. But the injection of cash into your bank account that (hopefully) happens after June 30 is certainly a cause for celebration. And, if you want to treat yourself a little early, Bar M is bringing an extra special Italian feast to Rushcutters Bay. The restaurant has teamed up with Ruinart — the world's oldest established Champagne house — to bring Sydneysiders a lavish five-course degustation, paired with matching Champagne.

Owner and head chef Paola Toppi will whip up a decadent menu, starting with freshly shucked oysters with caviar and horseradish kingfish tartare — both served with a glass of R de Ruinart Brut. This will be followed by house-made ink ravioli stuffed with blue swimmer crab and king prawn paired with Ruinart Rosé.

The main course is a citrus-poached toothfish with a herb medley, served with Ruinart Blanc de Blanc. Finish off with a raspberry and ricotta shortbread for dessert and an extra special glass of Dom Ruinart — made entirely of Chardonnay grand cru. Ruinart ambassador Dean O'Reilly will also be in the house to talk guests through each signature drop.

The dinner will take over the Bar M warehouse space on Thursday, June 27 from 7pm and cost $275 per person. To make a booking, head this way.
