MARK YOUR CALENDARS, ‘WINTER HITS’ ARE HERE!
The people have spoken and this winter, Menzies Bar’s cult-favourite pasta series returns as “Winter Hits” starting now!
Created by Culinary Director Joel Bickford and his team, the much-loved pasta series returns with 12 weeks of handmade favourites, each one a nod to the dishes that regulars still talk about. Expect a rotating lineup of $25 pasta specials, alongside $10 wine, available daily until sold out.
This year’s lineup features the return of cult favourites including Lobster Ravioli, Crab Conchiglie, Spaghetti Vongole and Linguine Carbonara, alongside richer winter heavy-hitters like Braised Pork Maccheroni, Paccheri Genovese and Pappardelle Bolognese.
Whether it’s a quick midweek bowl at the bar or a longer dinner with friends, The Winter Hits are made for cooler nights in the CBD.
Pull up a seat and work your way through the series, one pasta at a time.
