Two of Brisbane’s powerhouse chefs are uniting for rare collaboration
Attimi founder and head chef Dario Manca is joining forces with C’est Bon head chef Andy Ashby to launch an intimate two-part Chef’s Table Series. Celebrating the connection between two of Europe’s most iconic cuisines, the chefs will present alternating Italian and French courses for a luxuriously playful dining experience, with the first event taking place at Attimi in Paddington on Wednesday May 20 and the second hosted by C’est Bon in Woolloongabba in June. Attending guests will discover classic dishes with unique twists, including chicken liver parfait with Coca-Cola, eel farce with apple dashi, Redclaw crayfish brulee (with optional caviar), pumpkin and ‘nduja tortelli with pecorino consomme, duck assiette and Attimi’s signature vertical tiramisu. “It’s not just about Italian meets French, it’s about finding the moments where the two naturally connect and pushing that further on the plate,” Dario says. With only limited seating available, this is a dining experience you’re going to want to book in advance.
