Cocktails et Cuisine en Blanc

Overview

If you've already started planning which all-white outfit you'll be wearing to Sydney's Diner en Blanc, you may want to consider preparing two ensembles. Diner en Blanc has partnered with Marriott International and is throwing not one but two soirees this year. The inaugural Cocktails et Cuisine en Blanc — which doubles as a launch for Diner en Blanc and a chic cocktail party — will feature exquisite French fare, bespoke all-white cocktails, live music and all the decadence and debauchery you would expect.

Held at the Sydney Harbour Marriott, there won't be any guessing game as to how to get to the Cocktails et Cuisine en Blanc event — plus you'll be able to leave your plastic chairs and BYO picnic at home for this one. On the night, you'll be treated to canape and cocktail packages to inspire your menu for the actual event. And to ensure you're served the best of the best, the gourmet food and custom cocktails have been handcrafted by the teams at five participating hotels (Westin, Sheraton, Pier One, Marriott and Four Points by Sheraton). Keep an eye out for the all-white desserts from renowned, Michelin Star-experienced chef Raphael Szurek.

And, if you enjoy this night of unfettered opulence, you can relive it as the days get warmer — the Diner en Blanc-themed food and drink will be available from now until January 26, 2019. Marriott International is also offering special accommodation packages at the aforementioned participating hotels so, if you need, you also have somewhere nice and close to the city to stay.

Cocktails et Cuisine en Blanc will be held at 6.30pm on Thursday, October 11 at the Sydney Harbour Marriott. Registration via Facebook is essential.
