Amazing what you can do with one powerful plant

The Lotus Experience is the second in  a long line of mind blowing food focused events to be served in the Harvest Cafe Old Bakery. The concept behind this event stems (pardon the pun) form the ability the eat all parts of the hugely powerful plant. Guided by Dan Shriver, an authority on all things plants, we will eat and understand what this plant has to offer. Chef’s Joseph Griffin and Shannon Smerdon combine to make this a food lovers fantasy.Following the success of Ocean Harvest there is very limited seating available. One special Plant One special evening

Ocean Harvest

Well, what an Amazing night, the Old Bakery at the Harvest Cafe just sang. 7 wonderfully fresh seafood courses, all served out of the 99 year old oven to 41 eager guest and I was one of them. Shannon really blew us away with courses such as Betel leaf with spanner crab, tuna tataki with black bean orange soy dressing, baked pork and prawn stuffed squid, steamed mussels in a spicy coconut broth and the glory dish of whole baby snapper seasoned with a turmeric marinade and steamed in turmeric leaf.
Shannon and the staff really smashed the night out of the park, I was privilege to be apart  of it. We really feel like this oven is the heart and soul of the Harvest Cafe and it is so beautiful to see her beating so brilliantly again. These nights are something special, the food, the vibe, the staff and the most beautiful venue.

Private Dining Room

Through out the renovations of the old bakery wood fired oven, we were left with bricks, space
and a beautiful idea. The dream at the Harvest Cafe has always been to create unique individual spaces that cater to everyones needs and wants. First was the Harvest cafe bar, old world and always accessible. Then there was the renovations of the historic Old Bakery, allowing all types of service and vibe tailored to all needs. The Harvest Cafe journey continues with the build started on the private dinning room, up to 8 persons surrounded by the Harvest cafe wine cellar, and backing onto the most beautiful woodfired ovens ever built. Wine,  food, mood lighting and the most intimate dinning experience offered on the north coast. We honestly can’t wait.
