Be a starter at Cup lunch

Sirocco Noosa invites you to join in the excitment and colour of this year’s Melbourne Cup.
Located on the beautiful Noosa river, they have created a stunningly orchestrated four-course luncheon for just $79.90 per head.
With only the best and freshest produce, local seafood and quality beef, Sirocco’s Melbourne Cup menu has been perfectly paired with the sophisticated Highgate Wines. Enjoy a glass of bubbles on arrival and indulge in the scenery while watching the race on the big screen.
Starting off with your meal to share with Sirocco marinated olives, spice roasted nuts and hummus, served with za’atar flatbread, matched nicely with the Highgate bubbles, highlighting green apples and citrus supported by a subtle creaminess.
Entrees will be served with your choice of a local spanner crab and celeriac remoulade with apple, walnut and gazpacho dressing or quail saltimbocca with sweet and sour peaches, radicchio and vincotto jus. Choose from a glass of Highgate chardonnay full of generous and round fruits, carried by elegant and restrained oak with a refreshing crispness to finish or a tropical sauvignon blanc with a palate of passionfruit and guava, finishing crisp, fresh and dry.
While you’re savouring the flavours of the menu and wine, the talented kitchen team will be preparing the mouth-watering Melbourne Cup mains meals.
Decide between a sticky glazed ‘Cape Grim’ beef short rib with soft goats cheese, polenta and braised cavolo nero or crispy skin barramundi with Israeli cous cous, blood orange, medjool dates, mint and Persian fetta. Suggested with our mains is the cabernet sauvignon; a soft, rich red berry fruit flavour with blackcurrant and layers of dark chocolate with a deep lingering finish.
Finishing off this decadent four-course meal, indulge your sweet tooth with a white chocolate and champagne bavarios with fresh cherries and black forest crumb. Now that’s a winning menu.
With sensational flavours on showcase and Highgate wines flowing all day, lucky door prizes, sweepstakes, and a prize for the best dressed male and female, Sirocco Noosa is the place to be this Melbourne Cup. Bookings are essential on 5455 6688.
