We've just found out that four of our absolute fave Northbridge restaurants are joining forces yet again for five Saturdays this October from 2 October, to bring us one epic William Street Long Lunch.
La Cholita, No Mafia, Shadow Wine Bar and Sauma are teaming up to bring us one heck of a roving lunch—four courses, all with matched drinks for just $60 each. Just listen to this line up of eats and drinks and tell us you're not excited.
You'll start your Saturday afternoon in Mexico at La Cholita with a refreshing Primavera Pimento cocktail (Blanco tequila, elderflower, fresh lime, capsicum, cucumber, and agave) and some moreish beef chicharron nibbles served with crispy duck and ancho salt. Then it's just a quick stroll down the road to the Italian delights of No Mafia where you'll enjoy a seriously scrumptious housemade maccheroni with pork and rosemary sausage alongside a glass of Tuscan Vino Bianco or Rosso (or a Non-Gin+Tonica if you're not drinking).
Once you've wiped your bowls clean at No Mafia, keep walking down William Street towards the city until you get to Shadow Wine Bar for your main meal. The swanky Europian-inspired dining hall will be dishing up the most delish lamb rump with eggplant and salsa verde, but don't worry vegos, they've got you covered too with a roast pumpkin, almond cream and lentil salad. Both can be washed down with a glass of Juniper Estate Crossings Bordeaux Blend or a glass of Non #1 Salted Raspberries, Chamomile for non-drinkers.
Finally, it's time to clear a little more room and wander on down to the final destination of your roving lunch: contemporary Indian restaurant, Sauma. The spice gurus here have nailed dessert with a yummy chai panna cotta loaded up with fresh strawberries, lemon curd, cardamom honeycomb and chocolate mint, which you can enjoy while sipping on your Sauma Colada cocktail, featuring cardamom-infused rum, coconut, fresh watermelon, lime and bitters, or a Watermelon Blossom mocktail.
You can begin anytime between 11.30am and 2.30pm and you don't even need to book, so just stroll on in and take your time.
