Truffle season is in full swing, and if there was one restaurant in Canberra that knows how to showcase the famous fungus, it’s got to be Pod food at Pialligo.
On Friday 25 July and Saturday 26 July, Pod Food will treat Canberrans to a truly amazing showcase of treasured treats from French Black Truffles of Canberra. Owner John Leverink and Head Chef Matthew Breis have designed a five-course meal (plus canapés) that will take your tastebuds on a tour of what can be achieve by perfectly balancing the rich flavours with some of the finest local produce.
As you might expect from Pod Food, wine is a very important part of the dining experience, and for this special occasion Sommelier Brent Johnston has matched the menu with a selection of Australian and international wines that perfectly complement the flavours of each dish.
Pod Food has a very strong record in delivering a fantastic experience for those looking to really get a deep understanding of how truffles can be used in contemporary cooking. From The Canberran:
“All the food was beautifully and immaculately presented, and embodied the obvious passion for quality food in the kitchen. The textures and combinations of flavours were revelatory, with the subtle hint of truffle in every dish adding to the whole rather than distracting from it. The chefs made this look easy, but we’re sure it’s a delicate balance that’s probably easy to get wrong.”
It’s because of this strong commitment to value and quality that previous truffle dinners at Pod Food have been sellouts. As such bookings are essential. Tickets are $160.00 and are now available through the Pod Food website.
