Ever since its first incarnation as a cheeky South Yarra pop-up, Entrecote has been a solid Broadsheet fave. Currently holding two Hot List awards (for notable service and neighbourhood favourite), the French restaurant – now splendidly based in Prahran – has been in business for more than 10 years. It’s an accomplishment that owner Jason M Jones is set to celebrate in his upcoming book, Entrecote: Depuis 2015.

 

Thanks to Broadsheet Access, you’re invited to help launch the new publication – part memoir, part recipe book, part decadent scrapbook – with an exclusive readers’ lunch at Entrecote on Friday May 1.

 

Hosted by Jones himself in “le conservatoire” – the restaurant’s lush courtyard section – the long lunch will feature dishes from the book’s autumn menu. Guests can expect King Louis XIV boulettes, pan-fried John Dory with leek fondue and herb beurre blanc, and a classic creme brulee – all paired with free-flowing wines.

 

A live pianist will soundtrack the afternoon, followed by a Q&A with Jones and the Broadsheet team covering just some of the stories and BTS adventures behind a decade of Entrecote. There will also be time set aside for book signings and photos.
