Moving onto the principal courses, guests will enjoy some international flavours including a Texan spiced prime beef eye fillet with a potato pancake, white polenta, fried crumbed onion rings, an avocado, tomato and sweet corn salsa with chipotle mayo, an Asian spice rubbed seared rare tuna with a black and green bean salad, a sweet and sour pepper salsa and a salted black bean vinaigrette, and white fish accompanied by chopped mixed vegetables, a soft green herb and muzina leaf salad with a toasted hazel nut and lemon dressing.
Guests will delight in a range of dessert options which may include glazed lemon tart with fresh raspberries and vanilla mascarpone, fresh fruit salad with vanilla and champagne sorbet, or ginger banana cream tart with vanilla bean cream.
