Hotel Windsor prepares a treat fit for royalty

A feast literally fit for royalty will be served up by the Hotel Windsor, one of the world’s oldest grand hotels, as part of the 2012 Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.

Executive Chef Jérôme Trémoulet has based ‘Queen Victoria’s Feast’ on her Golden Jubilee banquet a Windsor Castle in 1887.

“We sourced Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee menu and Jérôme has taken inspiration from that banquet, with all its Victorian-era flourishes, grandeur, heady spices and French flair that was so popular at that time, to produce a modern-day version of a truly spectacular feast that will be served with some outstanding French wines,” Hotel Windsor Food & Beverage Director Michael Mangan said.

The dinner will be held in the hotel’s famed Grand Ballroom, with its seven original ceiling domes glazed with stained glass and gold leaf, on Friday, March 9. For further information phone the hotel on 03 9633 6004 or visit www.hotelwindsor.com.au or www.melbournefoodandwine.com.au.
