Clarence x What The… Farm
On Thursday June 18, Clarence will host a special collaborative dinner with What The… Farm, a community of local farmers, growers and producers dedicated to sharing ideas and helping move the industry forward. Intended as a celebration of the relationships that have helped shape Clarence, the dinner also doubles as a chance to support the vital role small-scale farming and regional food systems play in creating a more thoughtful, resilient and connected food culture. The five-course menu will showcase produce from some of the farms and producers that continue to inspire the team, including heirloom tomatoes and mandarins from Neighbourhood Farm, beef from Echo Valley Farm and milk-fed pork from Tommerup Dairy. Tickets are $100 per person, with proceeds going towards supporting and growing What The… Farm – click here to reserve your spot.
Pici Party 2 at ESSA
After a successful first event, Fortitude Valley restaurant ESSA is bringing back its Pici Party for a second evening on Thursday June 18. This iteration will see thick, hand-rolled strands of pici once again take centre stage but now, with winter in full swing, the team will be adding a hearty amount of truffle into the mix. Guests can expect a share-style menu (available for $76 per person) with multiple plates and a tight edit of Italian wines to enjoy. Only a few tables are available – click here to reserve your spot!
Attimi x C’est Bon’s Chef’s Table Series
Following the sold-out success of the first instalment in May, Attimi founder and executive chef Dario Manca is once again joining forces with C’est Bon head chef Andy Ashby for the second chapter of their intimate Chef’s Table Series. Taking place at C’est Bon in Woolloongabba on Wednesday June 24, the one-night-only dinner celebrates the natural crossover between two of Europe’s most iconic cuisines, with the chefs presenting a collaborative menu that moves between French and Italian influences across four snacks and four courses. Guests will enjoy dishes including duck o’yaki beignet, French onion meringue with comte, truffle and lemon thyme arancino, pan-seared Hokkaido scallop with burnt butter and guanciale, rabbit royale with nettle and pine mushroom, coral trout with prosciutto and cardamom sauce, and Ashby’s Autumn Leaves dessert featuring celeriac ice-cream. Each course will be paired with French and Italian wines, while communal dining tables encourage guests to settle in, connect and experience the menu together. With limited seats available across two sittings, this is a dining experience you’ll want to secure sooner rather than later – click here to reserve a table.
