Nineteen at The Star Chef’s Showcase

Guests will enjoy a spectacular four-course celebration of executive chef Uday Huja’s favourite flavour combinations and staple spices for autumn, set against the glittering Gold Coast skyline from this chic rooftop restaurant and bar. A sensory overload, the feast starts with signature oysters paired with a glass of Dominique Portet Brut Rosé, before a first course with a choice of heirloom tomato and nectarine salad, beef tartare, southern calamari or pumpkin risotto. Mains include john dory, roasted ocean trout or a grain-fed scotch fillet while sweet tooths will savour the coconut and mango panna cotta with smoked macadamia ice cream or chocolate meringue pie.

The Lab Moët & Chandon High Tea at Treasury Brisbane

For those who wish to indulge their sweet and savoury desires with a decadent afternoon, this is an ideal treat for that special occasion, or no occasion at all.
