The perfect start of your weekend
The Friday lunch menu at Chef’s Table
Lunch, like their dinner menu, is prepared from the freshest and finest ingredients available on that day. You are presented with 16 items from which you can omit anything you do not enjoy. You also choose your main to be either fish or meat. On the day we had lunch, everything looked tasty and so we let Chef Stephan and his team do the rest.
For our lunch at Chef’s Table, we enjoyed four beautiful courses. The menu will be different every time you lunch or dine here because each dish is created based on the available ingredients on that day. I want to highlight my two favourites: the Acquerello Riso and the Apple Crumble. The latter is my absolute weak spot – if I see it on a menu, I HAVE to try it!
Acquerello Riso
The Acquerello riso was an aged risotto rice cooked to perfection (and we all know how hard it is to get a risotto right!). On top was a silky, divine, chicken liver mousse which seemed to melt into the bed of Parmesan infused rice. Fine slices of black winter truffle were the crowning glory. The truffles are from a farm in Western Australia, the Majimup Truffle farm. They first harvested truffles in 2004 but the family farm has been a major producer of vegetables since 1978.
Apple Crumble
The dessert this day was an unconventional apple crumble. I love trying apple crumbles since there are so many variations and interpretations, admittedly some better than others. Chef Stephan definitely lived up to my expectations! The crumble was heavily infused with rum and served with caramelized apples and vanilla ice cream. Absolutely divine. It was the perfect finish to our lovely lunch at Chef’s Table.
Chef’s Table by Chef Stephan offers three menus for dinner. 4 courses at $98+ per person; 6 courses at $128+ per person; 8 courses at $150+ per person. For lunch you can enjoy 4 courses at $58+ per person.
