Glow-in-the-dark treats for Vivid 2019, 7-course gelato feasts, and the The Holy Trinity in Easter egg form? Is there anything Gelato Messina can’t do?! We think not, especially since they’ve just announced truffle gelato is on the autumn menu.
[related_articles]72462,70674,31606[/related_articles]Upping the sophistication stakes, our favourite ice cream gods are dishing up an 8-course truffle gelato degustation to blow our minds. Available for $160 per head until July 31 at both Sydney and Melbourne Creative Department Restaurants, you can expect to indulge some of Australia’s best Perigord truffles in a food journey like no other.
The goods? Menu highlights include a roasted kombu and liquorice gelato with citrus and black truffle compote, brioche and foie gras gelato with truffle sauce, and pistachio and black truffle gelato with matcha tea and white choc fudge. Yikes! The best part? Each dish is accompanied by carefully selected drinks to enhance each flavour from sweet and savoury through to umami.
