Mother's Day at Erin

Mother's Day at Erin

Join us at Erin this Mother’s Day for a special set menu, where we’re putting our own little twist on some nostalgic favourites

The experience is $159 per person and includes a welcome drink followed by a thoughtfully curated six course menu including a special Messina dessert. The events will be running across running across Thursday 7th May, Friday 8th May, and Saturday 9th May.

We’re drawing on the kind of food our mums actually made at home, reworked through the lens of our own backgrounds across Japan, Spain, Jersey and Australia.

To kick things off you'll be welcomed with a drink inspired by pear and rhubarb crumble, something we used to make with mum, and a proper nod to childhood desserts done right.

Then the set menu begins, starting with a French-Japanese inspired Sydney rock oyster with shiso vinaigrette jelly, rose and crème fraîche gelato pearl, and Oscietra caviar.



After that comes a warm brioche, served with molasses honey and a miso vegemite gelato. Vegemite on toast was breakfast for some of us; miso, for others. They've finally landed on the same plate.

Next up is a tomato tart, layered with Messina Jersey milk cheese, freshly pickled olive, a parmesan sablé and EVOO gelato. Jersey milk is the heart of it, the same dairy that shaped one of our childhoods, set into a cheese that holds the whole tart together.

Then we move to the paella socarrat, that crisp, caramelised crust everyone fights over, served with roasted capsicum, Cantabrian anchovy and a black garlic aioli gelato. Sunday lunch in Spain, on a plate.

For the savoury finale, a smoked duck wellington arrives with celeriac, jus and Madeira wine sorbet, the Sunday roast that came out for special occasions, dressed up for one more.



Missed out on the Mother's Day Messinetta? Don't worry, we've made our own. Basque cheesecake gelato with wild strawberry gel, strawberry mousse and biscuit crumble, finished with a freeze dried rose petal for that Erin flair. 

We'll also have a little something to take home for all the Mums, or whoever you're celebrating, to say thanks for everything!

Just one sitting per night, so spots are very limited. Get in quick!
