La Dolce Vita – an Italian Champagne brunch at Zafferano

Italian restaurant and lounge Zafferano will be holding a sumptuous Italian brunch on Saturday 25 August 2018 from 12pm to 3pm featuring free-flow Spumante and Champagne options.

Zafferano will be bringing back its beloved monthly Champagne brunch, this time specially created by recently-joined Head Chef Emanuele Faggi, featuring 3 generous courses of perennial Italian favourites served sharing-style at the table.

The convivial feast begins with an array of enticing appetisers such as:

• live seasonal oysters (2 per diner)
• marinated salmon topped with avruga caviar
• fresh Italian burrata served with tomatoes
• selection of cold cuts
• stewed mussels in pepper broth with rosemary croutons
• ‘polenta’ maize flour cake and creamed codfish
• gratinated Hokkaido scallop served with bread, parsley, pine nuts and raisins
• Tuscan thick soup of tomato and bread topped with parmesan crumble

This will be followed by a primi course of:

• baked potato gnocchi prepared in Sorrentina style, served with tomato, mozzarella
  cheese
• house-made veal agnolotti with spinach and hazelnuts
• superfine ‘risotto Acquerello’ with four cheeses topped with shaved summer truffle

The main course showcases a succulent fare of pan-seared duck breast served with onion compote and mustard sauce, and pan-fried seabass prepared in the Mediterranean style with olives, tomato, and fresh thyme, accompanied by rosemary potatoes and sautéed vegetables.

Dessert aficionados will be glad for the Bar Del Dolci, which will be replete with a spread of Italian desserts such as the fluffy tiramisù, creamy panna cotta, assorted macarons, mini luscious chocolate fountain, and caramelised banana cake.

This Saturday Italian Table Brunch costs $98++ per person with free flow of Spumante, juices and coffee and tea, or $128++ per person with free flow of Champagne, Spumante, juices and coffee & tea.
