Gourmet Traveller reader dinner: Lotus, Sydney

09 September 2008 to 09 September 2008

Lotus blossoms
One of Sydney’s favourite inner-city bistros, Lotus, hosts Gourmet Traveller’s next reader dinner.

You read last month’s ripping review, you’re loving Dan Hong’s recipes, but now you want to take the relationship to the next level. Have we got the deal for you. The good people at Lotus are throwing open their doors for a reader dinner next month, and have prepared a special menu that make even their everyday great value pale in comparison.

For just $90, we invite you to pull up a seat with us and get a taste of what new chef Dan Hong is up to over five intriguing courses (including the sundae on our cover). Each course is matched with a glass of something good from Marlborough’s Mahi Wines. As ever, $10 from the sale of each seat goes to the work being done by the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

Cocktails aren’t included, of course, but with that kind of value, there should still be some brass in your pocket to throw around with our fine friends in the speakeasy-like bar out the back. It’s a no-brainer: grab some friends, pick up the phone and get ready for a night of rollicking good fun.

Join us at Lotus on Tuesday 9 September, $90 per head, including matched wines by the glass and a $10 donation to the OCRF. For bookings, please call Lotus on (02) 9326 9000, 27 Challis Ave, Potts Point, NSW. Call 1300 OVARIAN or visit www.ocrf.com.au for upcoming events and news.
