Fromage in a Box

Overview

No matter what season it is, we're a cheese-loving society. We'll eat, breathe and live all things cheese, because it really does go with almost anything. And now that comfort food season is upon us, it's time for cheese at its warm and gooey best — including at Darlinghurst's Black Bottle.

As first launched last year, the Mediterranean-style wine bar is serving up fromage in a box every Wednesday. Cold weather calls for hot cheese, obviously. The dish is similar to raclette, but smaller and better. Plus, it comes ready-made for date nights, with each oven-baked portion perfect for two.

Not only do you get a glorious parcel of melted cheese, but you'll be able to pour it on potatoes, dip cured meats into it, and also feast on salad. And sip wine, if you like, although that'll cost you extra. The fromage in a box special is $39 per person, with a two-person, $78 minimum — so grab your dairy-loving partner or bestie and get sharing.
