The concept of the chef’s table originated from an age-old practice of chefs entertaining their family and friends in the kitchen as they worked. If space allowed, they sat at a small table tucked in an out-of-the-way corner; if not, they squeezed in at the pass. Over time, the idea evolved and restaurants across the world had Chef’s Table experiences for their patrons either by offering an invitation-only VIP perk or a special bookable table for their patrons.
For the first time ever Club Helensvale, in conjunction with Tomich Winery, will be offering a unique Chef’s Table experience for 18 of our members and you could win two seats at this table. Our Chefs will prepare a special five course menu which will be paired with a selection of Tomich wines. The lucky winners will receive complimentary transport by courtesy bus to this special event to be held in January. Every $50 or more spent in one transaction at blu bistro from the 1st November gives you a chance to win. MORE >
