Alliance Française's quarterly rotating dinner club is a culinary adventure in partnership with Brisbane's top French restaurants.
Every three months, the AF Dinner Club is hosted by a different celebrated restaurant in Brisbane.
Chefs craft an exclusive, themed tasting menu that highlights a specific aspect of France's diverse gastronomic heritage. Courses are thoughtfully paired with wines that complement and enhance the flavours of each dish.
Join us for these quarterly soirées to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the marriage between good food and wine, and savour the authentic taste of France's culinary excellence.
This month, it's a Christmas Special! Instead of a dinner, join us for a festive Sunday long lunch and celebrate the end of the year with a classic French Noël feast.
The team at DUCKFAT have crafted a decadent 10-course banquet menu inspired by a traditional French réveillon banquet. Enjoy a sumptuous spread of delicacies to start, including French Christmas essentials: foie gras, salmon gravlax and oysters. Followed by not one, but two main course dishes with seasonal accompaniments, bringing a touch of traditional countryside charm infused with innovative twists. Finally, a trio of refreshing desserts completes the meal, including a flambéed frozen yule log. Carefully picked French wines will perfectly complement this Christmas banquet feast.
We look forward to welcoming you to a warm and memorable gathering filled with exceptional food and wine and plenty of end-of-year cheer.
