La Chaîne des Rôtisseur Christmas Lunch

La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Gold Coast Christmas Lunch was a great event chosen for the food at the celebrated Chill on Tedder’s Restaurant  and the Christmas Party on the famous Tedder Avenue Main Beach, Gold Coast, Australia.

Those who had the stamina after our delightful lunch, could party on through the evening, singing carols and joining the fabulous street party, enjoying amazing entertainers and talking to Santa and his helpers.

True to the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs philosophy we enjoyed a wonderful lunch, “camaraderie” and the “pleasure of the table”.

Symphony Hill Wines SparklingNVChardPinotNoirOur happy Christmas lunch at Chill on Tedder’s was launched with a great Sparkling Chardonnay/Pinot Noir from Symphony Hill complementing scrumptious bites of

Freshly shucked coffin bay oysters, with wakame (seaweed), wasabi scented flying fish roe on a delicate Vietnamese dressing, a delicious Confit duck boudin, with truffle aioli and micro herbs (micro herbs are young herbs which are extremely intensely flavoured, nutritious and stunning to view) and a refreshing chilled and spiced Gazpacho, with flaked spanner crab. 

Our entrée was served by Chill’s attentive, friendly and ever so obliging staff. 
Salman Gravadlax, shaved fennel1Salmon Gravadlax, with shaved fennel, ruby grapefruit, Lilliput capers decorated with micro herbs, champagne vinegar and finger lime dressing. The crispy tempura coated zucchini flower was delicious. Together, with our starter we enjoyed a Ballandean Estate Wine – Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, with an “uplifted bouquet of fresh peaches and a palate of lingering passionfruit and zesty lime”.

Our main course was a slow cooked Turkey galantine, pocketed with apricot, shallot and pistachio. So soft, moist and tender.The garnishes were a flavoursome fondant potato, served with ginger spiced carrot purée, peas, cranberry jus accompanied by oven-roasted pumpkin, steamed green beans with preserved lemon and goats curd. A truly delicious dish.

The wine chosen to compliment this dish was a Symphony Hill – Tempranillo 2013. Tempranillo is a Spanish wine variety, becoming more and more popular with wine lovers. “Temprano” is Spanish for “early” as it is one of the first red grapes to be picked. “Like a Pinot Noir it is lighter in body but has much more attitude!

The Dessert was an overall winner with everyone. Dark chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla mille feuille, cherry gel, toffeed hazelnuts with cherry swirl ice cream.

The wine chosen to complement this dessert was a Ballandean Estate Wine, a  2012 Late Harvest Sylvaner, presenting “Luscious fruit with hints of honey and marmalade”.

A very special “Thank You” to Darren and his team for accommodating my Gluten Free requirements with one of his  legendary soufflés

It is no surprise that Chill on Tedder’s is a multi award winning Restaurant. The Chef Daran Glasgow is known for his passion for innovative, sophisticated contemporary cuisine. Daran and his team are creating a multitude of delicacies from freshly sourced seasonal and local produce. It’s a miracle what is served out of that smallest of kitchens.
