Taste the best of Brisbane's French cuisine with the Alliance Francaise Dinner Club.
Alliance Française's quarterly rotating dinner club is a culinary adventure in partnership with Brisbane's best French
restaurants.
Every three months, the AF Dinner Club is hosted by a different celebrated restaurant in Brisbane.
Chefs craft an exclusive, themed tasting menu that highlights a specific aspect of France's diverse gastronomic heritage.
Each course is thoughtfully paired with a wine that complements and enhances the flavours of the dish. The Head Chef and Sommelier personally present each course and pairing, offering insights into the story behind the menu, and the subtleties that make each wine the perfect match.
Join us for these quarterly soirées to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the marriage between good food and wine, and
savour the authentic taste of France's culinary excellence.
