Seasonal Spring Sensations

Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer.                                 Geoffrey B. Charlesworth

Eurodore opened just over one year ago and what a year it has been. Our hard work, dedication and commitment to great food and wine has paid off with rave reviews from The Age and a coveted spot in Melbourne's Age Good Food Guide.

Once again I would like to congratulate the front of house team, led by Dan Clarkson, head chef, Dan Melbourne and original team member Jean-Marie Gainot on their commitment and dedication. And a special mention to our head barista Liz Kolev, supported by Michael McLean, on the consistently wonderful coffee reviews. Well done to everyone.

As sunshine seeps through our grey days and September signals the coming of Spring, we reveal new flavours, menus and gourmet delights - we invite you to enjoy and celebrate with us.

See you instore-

WOW! GFG Debut In Just One Year

In his article in The Age, John Lethlean revealed a new ‘contemporary’ category in The Age Good Food Guide. He describes Eurodore-like eateries dedicated to quality as, “...not really restaurants, but they're run by people who care a great deal about food, and what they do, they do well.

“And as editors of the latest Age Good Food Guide, all we knew was that these were places food and wine lovers held increasingly dear to their hearts, and that we needed to include in the book.

“It also became apparent that trying to score these places against those with traditional restaurant formats and values was ill-advised.It simply wasn't fair to either type of business.

“The solution? This year we included places that sang from the hymn book of quality food, great wine and friendly service but that would hitherto have missed out on the guide. And we did that by giving them a separate designation - Bacchus - and no score.

“The very fact these places are in the guide at all is our way of saying if you love food, this place should tickle your fancy".

Cheese Workshop

18 September
Mediterranean delight

Greece is a country where different cheese types are produced in the most traditional and qualitative way. The largest cheese production comes from the mountainous areas throughout Northern Greece.

Despite its small size and the relatively small number of stockbreeders, Greece has always been an important exporter of cheese and produces a large variety of quality cheeses, famous around the world. Discover Labna, Saganaki, Haloumi, Barrel Aged Fetta, Sardinian Pecorino and Manouri. Learn about different varieties of cheese and how to match them with the right wines. $40 per person including cheese, wine and notes.

Pate Please!

A long time Melbourne favourite, is La Parisienne Pate, which for years was a boutique charcuterie tucked away down a small lane in Carlton.

It now has a smart shopfront on Lygon Street so Francophile foodies can easily source some of the best French smallgoods this side of Paris.

Fortunately those over our side of town, can choose from a delicious selection of La Parisienne Pate products right here at Eurodore – from duck and rosemary terrines to Toulouse and Lyonnaise sausages and beautifully made duck confit. Enjoy instore or serve on warm toast and don't forget a few tiny cornichons to serve on the side.
 

Anitpasti Evolution

There is nothing better than sharing a bottle of red and faboulous, quality antipasti with friends. Antipasti is the plural of "antipasto", which is Italian for "before the meal" and usually is a starter course. However in the era of lazy grazing and light meals, antipasti is now the food hero of our afternoons. Eurodore expanded our antipasti range and focus with the beginning of Spring...

~ Chicken sausage with beetroot relish
~ Duck rillete with red wine poached cherries
~ Smoked eel with beetroot and horseradish crème fraiche
~ Manchego cheese croquettes with smoked paprika
~ Olives marinated with orange, rosemary and fennel
~ Almond skordalia
~ Prosciutto with roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic crouton
~ Crumbed and baked buffalo mozzarella with olive tapenade

No Scrooge

Since its inception, Barossa Valley Estate has gone from strength to strength. Today its portfolio of wines includes E&E, Ebenezer and Moculta. Each of these ranges is unique and made to a particular style. The E&E Black Pepper Shiraz is the quintessential Barossa Shiraz - powerful and intense with rich fruit and firm tannins. This is a wine that will mature and develop in the bottle for well over a decade. Eurodore has the 04 Ebenezer on the pour for September … nothing better with a sharing plate or long lunch.
