Every now and again, it's good to treat yo' self. And if you've been waiting for the opportune moment, it has arrived in the form of the Lobster and Co pop-up at the Riverside Terrace on the Yarra. Hunt down the vintage-style stainless steel caravan and get a taste of the finer things in life, by way of a luxurious lobster roll paired with fries and a glass of Champagne.
Open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday through to Saturday, until January 23, 2023, the caravan will be serving up just three things: lobster rolls, truffle fries and glasses of G.H. Mumm Champagne. It's not an expansive menu, but it sure is luxe. Wild-caught, whole confit lobster tail is butter-poached and stuffed into a moreish caramelised brioche bun with a heap of buttermilk fennel slaw, and fries are doused with parmesan.
The roll and fries will set you back $44, but hey its been a long year and you deserve to splurge on yourself. You can find the Lobster and Co pop-up adjacent to Hamer Hall at the Arts Centre Melbourne, with access from St Kilda Road or Southgate.
