Indulge in a starlit feast with Dinner Under the Stars at Garden Kitchen & Bar

Indulge in a starlit feast with Dinner Under the Stars at Garden Kitchen & Bar

Spring is here, which means that right now we're in the midst of some of the year's most delicious produce. Luckily for all of the food-loving folk among us, the city's top kitchens are going to great lengths to produce some amazing culinary magic with the season's best ingredients. If you're looking for a unique way to indulge in the delights of spring on the Gold Coast, then the Dinner Under the Stars experience will be right up your alley.


UPDATE: Due to a dire weather forecast, the Dinner Under the Stars event has been cancelled. The reservations team will be reaching out to guests who have booked their tickets already and will be providing a full refund. 

The glorious lawn area at Garden Kitchen & Bar at The Star Gold Coast will come to life on Friday October 12 for its first Dinner Under the Stars event. Showcasing Garden’s new share-style dining concept, the evening will see diners dotted along an elegant long-table setting under the sparkling stars. You’ll start your night with canapes and a welcome drink on the deck to the tune of acoustic beats, before the main event begins – a sumptuous eight-course share-style dinner.

With house-made damper and lemon-myrtle butter on the side, the menu dances across both the land and sea. For entree, think king prawns in a half shell with Noosa tomatoes and picked garden herbs, duck breast with cherry compote, white asparagus and artichoke chips, and open-grilled flat mushrooms with strawberry-gum seasoning and goats cheese. For the main share plates there will be saltbush-marinated lamb shoulder with garden-pea puree, sugar snap peas and tendrils, smoked chicken with oven-roasted kipflers and charred leeks, and house hot smoked salmon with fennel, compressed melon and quinoa crisps. Try and save room for dessert – you won’t want to miss out on the baked banana and wattleseed pudding with custard and finger-lime ice-cream. What a dream. For tickets to this dazzling culinary affair, head The Star’s website.
