Hot Smoked Char Sui Pork Belly, Peanuts, Chilli & Truffle – Wilma
Filling the restaurant with the heavenly smells of fresh black truffles, Wilma’s Asian-style menu might not be the first restaurant you’d think of when seeking out your winter truffle hit, but somehow it just works. Sourcing truffles not so far away at Pialligo Truffles, you can now get a generous shaving on their crowd-pleasing hot smoked char sui pork belly. A real melt-in-your-mouth situation, the juicy tender slices of pork have a delicate taste that is uplifted by the nutty combination of the peanuts and truffles, with that well-rounded hint of chilli in the sauce. Putting truffle on just about everything with particular recommendations, upgrade your usual Wilma banquet with glorious shavings of truffle.

Tartufo Pizza – Joe’s Bar
Killing the pizza game with that authentic Italian flare, Joe’s Bar is breaking in their new wood-fired pizza oven with a truly delectable slice. Using local Blue Frog Truffles from Sutton, they throw roast potato, truffle brie, rosemary and truffle onto their unbeatable crispy base to create the Tartufo Pizza. A cheesy, salty and earthy masterpiece. Paired with a glass of Lerida Estate ‘Cullerin’ Chardonnay for $35, pizza and wine at Joe’s just got even more enticing.

Scampi & Truffled Mascarpone Ravioli – Brunello
Artfully executed with exceptional taste, we often find ourselves drawn to a truffle and pasta combo, especially when the team at Brunello’s are behind it. Immersing themselves in everything truffle, Brunello has created a five-course truffle degustation that is set to change regularly. As part of the menu, they showcase a scampi and truffled mascarpone ravioli with aromatised beurre noisette and fresh Blue Frog Truffles. Light, perfectly delicate and a true crowd-pleaser, pair it with a glass of Chablis and you can thank us later!
Available every Wednesday until mid-August. Book now.
