Melbourne Cup 2015 at Gerard’s Bistro
Don your finest race wear and head over to what is sure to be a spectacular Melbourne Cup event at Gerard’s Bistro. For the second year in a row, Gerard’s Bistro will bring the luxury and extravagance of Melbourne Cup to James Street with an exclusive race day event on Tuesday November 3. Gerard’s Bistro and its surrounding laneways will bloom into a lavish flower market, reminiscent of a springtime bazaar. From 11:00 am onwards, guests will step into the plush pavilion for a day of food, beverages, entertainment and race day sweeps. Wide screen televisions to view all the action direct from Flemington Racecourse will be scattered around the event.
Following on from last year’s Levantine inspired food market, Gerard’s award-winning Head Chef, Ben Williamson, will be replenishing guests with a fresh seafood installation, cured meats, delectable canapés and a selection of Gerard’s Bistro favourites. To enhance the quintessential Gerard’s Bistro offering, guests will enjoy free-flowing G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge French Champagne, premium beer, wine, spirits and refreshing cocktails. In addition to the live entertainment, Mercedes-Benz Brisbane will be partnering with the event for ‘Fashions Off The Field’, where guests will have the chance to win prizes valued up to $10,000. Ladies and gentlemen can parade their race day attire in the heart of the James Street fashion hub, judged by a panel of celebrity fashion bloggers yet to be announced.
For those looking for a little more luxury on the day, there will be limited VIP lounges available. Each exclusive booth will be serviced by a G.H. Mumm cocktail waitress and guests can watch the race unfold from their own private screen. VIP lounges seat 12 guests and are required to be reserved as a whole.
