About this event

Get ready for an unforgettable 8-course culinary and oenological journey at our Chef’s Table, crafted around a “surprise” central ingredient

GRAB YOUR SEAT AT OUR CHEF’S & SOMMELIER’S TABLE

“Surprise Me” 8-course themed degustation with optional Matched Wines

Join us for an unforgettable culinary experience at Life’s Too Short Bar in East Melbourne!

Indulge in a once-off bespoke degustation extravaganza consisting of 8 courses crafted around a single secret ingredient, often selected the day before …

The question is, are you willing to take the journey into the unknown?

Our head chef, Sigrid, will guide you on a gastronomic journey, creating dishes that may surprise you but will surely delight you. Our Sommelier, Antony, is on hand for those who want an oenological journey to match their feast, with wine education and a few stories (if you ask!)

It’s all about texture, flavour, and twists on old family recipes – we start with an amuse bouche, followed by three entrees, a main, a cheese course, pre-dessert and then the dessert finale follow, leaving guests happily stuffed to the brim after their food and wine journey around Europe, Australia and even the world.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to savour the flavours of our “Surprise Me” menu. Located at Tribeca Arcade on Victoria Parade, our cosy venue in Melbourne’s old historic cellar c.1854 provides the perfect setting for this in-person event.

Book your spot now!

NOTE: This is usually crafted as a gluten-free and coeliac-safe menu. Most dietary requirements can usually be catered for with 48 hours or more notice. The Sommelier’s wine pairing is optional (additional charge), or you can purchase drinks from our extensive drinks menu.
