South Wharf Progressive Dinners: Celebrate The Seasons of Melbourne

Tuesday February 13th, 2018

Calling all foodies.

If you thought progressive dinners were left in the eighties with crimpers and roller skates, we’d totally forgive you.

And while a progressive dinner sounds like the kind of daggy neighbourhood event your parents used to participate in – sampling a round robin of dishes from The Women’s Weekly Cookbook – we’re here to tell you that we’re bringing them back. In a very sophisticated way.

In 2018, South Wharf will host a number of progressive dinners across six unique South Wharf restaurants: Akachochin, Meat Market, Plus 5, BangPop, Common Man and Bohemian Wine Bar.

Dinner degustation

Not only will you be able to experience six unique South Wharf venues in the one night, but you’ll also be able to enjoy a menu that celebrates Melbourne’s varied seasons (yes, sometimes all in the one day)!

Guests will enjoy five sumptuous courses, paired with beverages, along with a glass of champers on arrival.

You’ll savour beautiful dishes crafted with hero summer, autumn, winter and spring produce while enjoying a very Melbourne experience as you dine by the sparkling Yarra River, soaking in the city skyline.

What can you expect from each venue?

South Wharf’s Take On A Modern Izakaya at Akachochin

Bringing the heart of Japan to South Wharf’s doorstep, Akachochin offers traditional Japanese food in a modern style bar. You’d be forgiven for thinking you were in Tokyo, with the customary dishes on offer, not to mention over 50 different styles of speciality sake.

And they nail it. 

All of the venues do.

Definitely a lot better than trudging through the suburban streets, sampling Brett’s beef stroganoff and Sharon’s upside down pineapple cake.

Vegetarians and those with dietary requirements can be accommodated at each venue.
