Uma Nota
Warm yourselves up at the town’s favourite Brazilian-Japanese infusion as it offers hearty new dishes and Brazilian spirited cocktails this month. The Caldeirada de Frutos do mar ($280) is a seafood dish made from local and fresh ingredients including tiger prawns, octopus and squid – all cooked to perfection and served with coconut rice. The new cocktails ($100) pay homage to the spirit of Brazil with a rum-like spirit, and to its Japanese roots with coffee infused sake!

CATCH
CATCH has always been a brunch staple, so when we heard about the brand new dinner menu, we were more than keen to check it out. Each dish is stocked with fresh flavours, and the menu is bursting with pops of colour and unique twists. Think: burnt octopus with chorizo and beetroot mayo, spicy sea bass laksa with crispy enoki mushrooms, halloumi and hazelnut quinoa – and much more. Our favourites included salmon tartare with avo cream; and the tobiko mayo and crab fries, topped with a runny egg and a generous scoop of truffle caviar. For dessert, pair the hot cinnamon doughnut balls with any of the loose-leaf teas for a warm, decadent finish. And as a bonus, if you head over on a Monday, starters come free with every main, and happy hour runs until 8pm!

Priced at $398 per person, enjoy sumptuous bites from the Antipasti Buffet, before moving onto the Carving Station, which presents delights such as succulent Roast French Chicken and crispy-skinned Spanish Iberico Suckling Pig. But that’s not all, as Porterhouse is also serving six types of internationally-sourced seafood at its Seafood Station, and make sure to save some room for some sweet treats at The Dessert Station – we have our eye on the Chocolate Fountain! To make it a more boozy affair, free-flow drinks packages are also available; starting at $150 for two-hours prosecco, red and white wine, beer, and two types of cocktails, with further options available. Porterhouse will also be offering a special 20% discount on its new brunch to celebrate Chinese New Year, available on Saturday, 17 and Sunday, 18 February and on Saturday, 24 and Sunday, 25 February.
