Garden Court Restaurant at Sofitel Wentworth Sydney has introduced Partager, the French Art of Sharing.
Garden Court Restaurant Sofitel Wentworth Sydney
Take the lift up to the fifth floor of the Sofitel Wentworth Sydney and you’ll find yourself amidst an oasis of greenery and quietude, a respite from the clamour of the CBD. The restaurant opens for lunch on weekdays and is offering what they’re calling the French Art of Partager menu.
Partager means to share and the lunch menu provides several options whether you’re after a quick meal or a more leisurely experience. You’ll find a selection of charcuterie boards to tempt, classic smaller dishes such as moules frites and boeuf tartare, and larger mains ranging from pappardelle pasta to lamb shank bourguignone.
Wine Flight
To commemorate Sofitel Sydney Wentworth’s 50th Anniversary, you can indulge in the Wine Days Lunch menu that pairs every main meal with a wine flight ($30) available until 31 October 2016. Start with Banfi ‘Le Rime’ Pinot Grigio, light on the palate with pronounced fruit notes of peaches, apple and grapefruit. Continue with Yal Yal Rd Pinot Gris, a vibrant and textural wine with crisp pears and yellow peaches and finish with the Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Blanc from Alsace, with floral notes and good acidity that goes exceptionally well with hard cheeses.
Sharing Board
A selection of Sharing Boards ($15pp) tempts with a choice of Charcutier’s Board with cured, smoked, dried cold cuts, pâté, rillettes served with pickles and dips; Poissonier’s Board with raw, marinated, smoked fsh and seafood, fish rillettes; and Jardiner’s Board with Raw, marinated, roasted and grilled vegetables and dairies, all served with toasted breads and dips. Shown above is a selection from all three, with copa, chorizo, smoked ocean trout, zucchini, eggplant and mushrooms and a spicy capsicum sauce.
Moules Frites
Popular in many restaurants all over France, the Moules Frites ($18) are a good choice for a light lunch, with steamed South Australian black mussels, plump and full on flavour and a creamy sauce for dipping.
Duck Confit
The South Windsor Pepe’s Duck Confit ($30) is not to be missed. The meat is beautifully cooked to the point where it easily falls off the bone. It’s big on flavour and takes you back to that restaurant in Paris that lingers in memory. Crisp Lyonnaise potatoes come with streaky bacon, and rich pan juices and the caramelised pearl onions complete the dish.
Fromages
Finish with a selection of cheese from the Fromager’s Trolley ($18 pp) served with quince paste, dried fruits, nuts and lavosh bread. Shown here is a creamy Le Conquerant Camembert, Mature Cheddar and Milawa Blue Cheese.
The Partager Lunch menu offers several choices should you be after a quick lunch or a more leisurely experience. The Signature Sharing Board with a choice of main costs $39, add French pastries for $49 and a selection from the Fromager’s Trolley for $59 per person.
Lunch at the Garden Court Restaurant is served from 12pm to 2.30pm Monday to Friday. The hardest part is getting back to work after lunch.
