Another year, another March Into Merivale launch party, but this year's was definitely my favourite so far!
I've been lucky to work on Merivale's PR over the last 3 years and just wanted to post about the night as it was lots of fun and want to encourage more people to check it out!
March Into Merivale is the food and wine festival (21 Feb - 15 April) held by the Merivale Group across all of their venues including ivy, Establishment, Lotus Bistrode CBD and new baby Ms G's.
This year's crazy creative theme is 'The Art of Food', so all of the chefs and owner Justin Hemmes got dressed up in their favourite food-inspired attire. Sweet!
The idea of the night was that guests purchased a $20 ticket which entitled them to 6 tasting plates and 2 drinks. Now it might not sound like much, but I had about 5 dishes and was completely stuffed!!
Each of Merivale's 11 restaurants had a stall, either outside at Ash Street or up in The ivy Room, all with two different dishes to try. My favourites of the night had to be the spicy Buffalo Wings San Choi Bow from Ms G's, the gigantic Wagyu Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce from Mad Cow and the dainty Juniper Scented Venison with Cauliflower and Coffee-Cocoa from est.
This was all washed down with a glass of bubbly and a delightful Felix tonic - gin with homemade bitter orange tonic. Delish!
Some of our lovely food blogger friends have written full reviews with lots of pics, so please check them out if you want to see more - http://simonfoodfavourites.blogspot.com/ http://www.chocolatesuze.com/
For the next 2 months, there are over 50 yummy events as well as $33 meal offers across the Merivale Group, so get stuck in! Details here - http://www.marchintomerivale.com/
Chow down folks!
