Introducing AVALON X…
4 chefs | 4 courses | 4 wines
At Avalon we like to keep things interesting. So, we’re straying away from the regular menu to create a series of experimental dinners, starting on Thursday October 24.
Each Avalon X menu will be different as each course will be created by a different chef who will experiment with different ingredients and flavours. Each course will be paired with an equally interesting wine from some of our favourite local winemakers.
Join us for an eXperience like no other.
Set menu $70pp | with matching wines $95pp
Due to the style of menu, dietary requirements can only be accommodated with sufficient prior notice. If you are making a group booking we kindly ask that you check all dietary requirements prior to booking.
