Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

[RB001]

Does anyone know when the new menu is likely to drop?

The day after your next visit, of course!

Or

First week in September per suggestion upthread.

Back in MEL FLounge. Ordered the Brussels sprouts again along with the gua bao with red braised pork, chilli, sesame, cashews and pickles.

Gua bao arrived along with a serve of the prawn, tomato and celeriac remoulade on toasted brioche. Oh well, guess we’re trying that too.

Gua bao was usual standard and the prawn brioche was ok. Opted to wash it down with a Hot Smoke Margarita.

Margherita was interesting, but not sure it’s my thing.

Re-ordered the Brussels sprouts and whilst nice, didn’t live up to the high standard set yesterday.

Your sprouts were probably lonely @DejaBrew - need the Chilli Caramel Pork Belly with them

Chilli caramel pork with crispy Brussels sprouts and apple puree. 3rd time in 3 days, and probably the second best of the three servings.



Grilled Humpty Doo barramundi with fennel and paprika wedges, sundried tomatoes and olive tapenade. Very nice!



Washed down with a Negroni.

Oh I like Negroni but have not seen it on the menu... Do they make it on request?

Standard offering on the Classic coughtails menu now.

Finally tempted after 3 days to succumb to the pav…

A Negroni without gin is not a Negroni! That would be an Americano... Seems strange to me that they would offer what appears to be full strength martinis and margaritas but chicken out when it comes to the negroni??

Good point! I don’t drink Negronis normally, so couldn’t tell you whether or not the gin was there and if it was therefore simply an oversight on the menu listing.

Strange that the menu lists both drinks with identical compositions.

Reminds me of

Ooh, well spotted! Yeah, I’d say it’s a simple menu error then.
