After a week with mixed emotions and a couple of disasters it was going to be a lovely night involving 10 courses of food and wine.
Before heading out to dinner we had a 2 hour session of cards against humanity. All our friends are hooked.
Anyway thank goodness it is a public holiday so parking was free and we found a spot right outside the restaurant.
It is in one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne. The Rialto tower situated on the 55th floor,

The view was amazing. It was going to be a special night. There was a group of six in total.
After we ordered our cocktails we went and sat at our table. Kim and i faced the kitchen while our friends faced the city. It was interesting watching them prepare the foods.
Salt and vinegar chips with almond dip
Starters
Marshmallow with panko i think.
crispy Eel
Ox heart
Duck tongue
Sushi
Mains
Steamed fish with pasta and goats cheese |
Beef cooked two ways, asparagus and apple sauce disc |
By this stage i had a few glasses of wine and not quite sure what these are lol.
Cucumber pallet cleanser |
Deserts
Because they all love cheese they decided to get a cheese platter. It had a bit of everything.
Drinks
Kims Mar-tea-ni |
We had a selection of reds / whites / deserts wines. Kim had Tea matching instead of alcohol as she doesn't drink much.
It is always interesting going to different restaurants and trying different foods with wines. After 5 hours of eating it was time to go.
As we left they gave us all bags for breakfast
Sorry about photo placements i am still trying to get the hang of it :)

Wow! What a great culinary adventure. You remember meals like this for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteKyle and I have always wanted to do this, and that is a great idea to take a group of friends along!
