Merivale Winter Feasts
By Myffy Rigby
You've seen them naked and now see them... not naked. First there was the incredibly successful March into Merivale and its saucy photo shoot (the chefs were shot in the nudda holding conveniently placed kitchen equipment to hide their personal equipment). This time, Merivale's top chefs are clad in winter coats, battling through the snow for a warming season of Merivale Winter Feasts. For $35, you'll receive one, two or three courses (depending on the restaurant you're dining in), plus a James Squire beer or a glass of Chandon wine.
Starting on Monday 15 June, the feasting will run each week day until the end of August. "We're proud to be able to offer exceptional quality at such an affordable price from master chefs the calibre of Peter Doyle of est., through to celebrated new talents including Lauren Murdoch of Ash Street Cellar and Dan Hong of Lotus, all of whom contribute to making Sydney one of the best food capitals in the world," says head honcho Justin Hemmes.
Time Out has had a sneak peak at the menus and we've picked out our highlights as a sample of what's on offer.
Bookings for all venues are open now. So hop on the good foot and call 02 9240 3000 or visit www.merivalewinterfeasts.com.
