Madame Truffles Pop-Up Shop 2019
Sydney's truffle queen is back for three straight months of flaming cheese wheel pasta, truffle ice cream and a free weekly happy hour.
Overview
Truffle season is now in full swing, and Madame Truffles has returned with its best pop-up shop yet. This time around, it's taking over Handpicked Cellar Door for three straight months — from June 13 — and it features flaming cheese wheel pasta, truffle ice cream and a free weekly happy hour.
The star of the show is the truffle pasta, mixed in a flaming cheese wheel and topped with fresh shavings of the fancy fungi. It's portioned for two people at $70 a pop ($35 per person, minimum two people), so make sure to bring a mate along. Another truffle-filled treat on offer is a wine flight of Handpicked's finest paired with truffle-topped cheese and charcuterie ($59 all up).
There will also be a free truffle happy hour every Sunday at 2pm, with space for only six people per session. Those lucky few will get a mini masterclass — along with plenty of tastings, of course — but booking is essential. Keep an eye on the website to snag your spot.
For a full on masterclass, head along on July 18 when Madame Truffles herself will host a course on both Australian and European truffles. She'll explain all the ins and outs, from farming and storing to handling and preparation. A wine tasting, truffle pasta sample and gift pack will all be included in the $95 ticket price.
The shop will also sell heaps of truffle items to take home, including truffle ravioli and truffle ice-cream, plus truffle butter, truffle honey and truffle salt. The pop-up will run every Thursday through Sunday from 11am–9pm, so there's plenty of time to get your hands on all of it.
