Swallow Tail Culinary Adventures

Greetings ,

A lobster mushroom (Hypomyces lactifluorum) is a bright red mushroom that actually takes over other mushrooms and reshapes & colours them red!  They actually have the aroma of a lobster and a great firm texture.  

Come taste one at Chef Robin's Wild Mushroom multi-course dinner this Saturday. Feast on her steak and lobster mushroom creation as well as lots of other unusual forest mushrooms.

When: Saturday, Sept 27th - 6:30pm
Where: Swallow Tail Secret Supper Club
Price: $69/person - Only 25 guests
Byob: I would recommend pinot noir, vinjo verde or bubbly to start, chardonnay would be best if you lean to whites.
Book Now!

This meal easily be made vegetarian friendly

Please note, the Supper Club is cash only.

Cheers
Chef Robin
