A Decadent Winter Dining Experience: Canberra Truffles Take Centre Stage at The Place

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney

This winter, The Fullerton Hotel Sydney invites Sydneysiders and visitors alike to savour the season's most luxurious ingredient, black truffle, with an elegant three-course menu served at The Place from 18 July to 30 August 2025. 

Crafted to showcase the intricacy of premium black truffles sourced from Canberra, this limited-time Truffle Tasting Menu delivers a truly memorable dining experience, available Fridays and Saturdays for both lunch and dinner. 

Director of Culinary and F&B, Desmond Carneiro, says the menu is a true reflection of seasonal inspiration and a deep appreciation for locally sourced Australian produce. “Truffle season is something our kitchen team looks forward to every year. Canberra's cool climate produces some of the best black truffles in the country, and this year's harvest is exceptional” Mr Carneiro. 

“We've created a menu that allows the truffle to speak for itself, elevating each dish without overpowering it. It's a delicate balance, and one that I believe guests will remember long after the final course.” 

The experience begins with warm Sonoma sourdough, served alongside whipped truffle and red pepper berry cultured butter, a subtle yet satisfying prelude to what lies ahead. The first course pays homage to Roman simplicity with a bold, earthy twist: Black Truffle Cacio e Pepe, featuring bucatini pasta, cracked kibbled pepper and a generous dusting of pecorino Romano.

For the main dish, diners are treated to Tournedos Rossini, a delicacy dish of Black Angus tenderloin, topped with seared foie gras, truffle pomme anna, wilted spinach, and a rich black truffle jus. 

The meal concludes with an inventive and indulgent sweet: a gluten-free Pear and Ricotta Truffle Cake, layered with hazelnut sponge, vanilla-poached pear, ricotta mousse, and truffle and sea salt ice cream, proving that truffles can shine in more than just savoury dishes.

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney's General Manager, John O'Shea, says “At The Fullerton Hotel Sydney, we're delighted to offer more than just a place to stay, we're passionate about creating experiences that connect our guests to the best of Sydney's seasonal food culture. This truffle menu is a celebration of winter in Australia, brought to life by our talented culinary team in one of the city's most elegant dining spaces.” 

The Truffle Tasting Menu is priced at $120 per person, available from 18 July until 30 August 2025, unless sold out prior. With limited availability each week, guests are encouraged to book early to secure their preferred date.
