Truffle lunch @ OTIS Dining Hall

Andrew and I have embraced the Canberra region's annual truffle festival for many years. Canberra's winters can be quite … crisp, and it's good to have distractions while we wait for our fingers and toes to thaw out. We've been to several truffle hunts and brunches, at both Turalla Truffles near Bungendore and The Truffle Farm in Canberra. They're always fun and delicious but this year we decided to spend our truffle budget differently. (The hunts are getting seriously expensive and we realised we could participate in several other truffle-y adventures for the same price.)

So, a couple of weeks ago we enjoyed a truffle-laden lunch at OTIS Dining Hall in Kingston.

Cauliflower and truffle veloute with sourdough

Handmade raviolo with three-cheese filling

Aged ribeye steak with truffle butter, truffle

dianne sauce, seasonal salad and potatoes

An elegant venue and a fabulous feast! And, having skipped the truffle hunt, we had money left over to participate in a couple more truffle-filled meals. Check out the burgers and fries here …
