Festival of Melted Cheese

Overview

If you've kicked off the new year with grand plans of health kicks and leafy green salads, you might want to put them on hold for just a few more weeks. Especially if you're a lower north shore local. That's because The Fernery's lush rooftop terrace is about to kick off a month-long festival of melted cheese.

Launching Saturday, February 1 and running daily through the month, the Mosman Melted Cheese Festival is set to deliver a dairy-fuelled menu to tempt even the most hardcore cheese fiends. The limited-edition lineup covers the stretchy, the oozy and the decadently gooey, with dishes like an extra cheesy New York-style cheeseburger ($24), salty haloumi sticks ($17) and a four-cheese revamp of the classic mac and cheese ($19).

There's also a honey-drizzled baked camembert served with house-baked flat bread for dipping ($17) and you'll even find a dessert cheese fix in the smooth and fluffy cheesecake teamed with fresh fruit ($16).

The Fernery

The Fernery's got your drinks match sorted, too. Round out your cheesy rendezvous with a drops like Lanson Champagne ($20 glass, $99 bottle) and the Margan rosé ($12 glass, $50 bottle) out of the Hunter Valley.
