Lobster & Co at Runaway Gardens

Overview

What's better than one indulgent pop-up serving lobster, truffles and champagne in Sydney? Two, obviously. As well as hitting up the Entertainment Quarter for Taste in the City, Lobster & Co is also coming to town for Runaway Gardens at First Fleet Park in The Rocks during Sydney Fringe Festival from Tuesday, August 16–Sunday, September 25, too.

Clearly, there's a specific kind of thinking behind this food event: sometimes, your tastebuds just crave something special. They hanker for the kind of dish you're not going to eat every day, aka a treat yo'self type of culinary experience.

If that sounds like your idea of an indulgent meal, Lobster & Co will be doing what it does best, with the pop-up van serving lobster rolls with truffle fries and flutes of Pommery champagne.

You'll pay $50 for the food combo, which features a whole confit lobster tail served warm on a caramelised brioche bun with buttermilk fennel slaw, plus a side of parmesan truffle fries. A chilled glass of the champers will cost you $20 extra.

Also on offer: a second roll, a Thai fusion number, which includes cabbage, green papaya and sriracha mayo — and lobster, obviously — on a brioche bun.
