Gourmet Traveller reader dinner: Stokehouse, Brisbane

27 February 2012 to 27 February 2012

Join us at Brisbane’s newest hot spot for an evening of relaxed summertime dining, Stokehouse-style.

Stokehouse has done it again, this time bringing the relaxed glamour for which the Melbourne landmark is renowned to sunny subtropical Queensland. With its sleek timber deck and striking interior, the new waterside venue has laid-back chic down to a tee. The effortless flow of the dining and bar areas combines casual and formal dining in a sweeping space: “What’s exciting is that we’ve got a bar that morphs into a dining room,” food director Anthony Musarra told GT during our recent visit to photograph their bar snacks for our feature in the February issue.
 
The menu for this month’s reader dinner was devised by Musarra and head chef Tony Kelly. Perfectly in tune with the restaurant’s river-side setting, it includes the likes of Queensland scallop tartare with a scallop velouté, porcini-dusted lamb with almond cream, and drunken date and mascarpone tart.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening at Brisbane’s most highly anticipated new dining spot. Hoddles Creek will provide matching wines, and our good friends at Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino are taking care of the water. As always at our reader dinner events you’ll be supporting a worthy cause, with $10 from each ticket donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. This is a reader dinner event you won’t want to miss.

Join us for dinner at 7pm on 27 February at Stokehouse Brisbane, Sidon St, South Bank, Qld. Dinner is $120, including matched wines by the glass and a $10 donation to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. For bookings, call Stokehouse on (07) 3013 0333.
