After 3 sold out sittings in 2025 - Crab & Cray lunch returns to NIDO!
Crab & Cray is a NIDO hall of fame lunch devoted to the luxurious shellfish of our coastline, and the wines that pair so perfectly with them. This event has become a seasonal fixture at NIDO, shaped by our relationships with local suppliers and a our ode to Australian shellfish at its most luxurious - sweet Blue Swimmer Crab, rich Southern Rock Lobster, treated simply and handled with restraint. No over-complication. No distraction. Just produce that deserves its moment.
This is a long lunch. 6 courses. One sitting only. Twelve o’clock sharp. This is a 4 hour sitting, because we mean business.
Each course is paired with decadent French wines, bottles chosen for texture, generosity and depth. Think white Burgundy against sweet crab. Structured Champagne with lobster. Serious, cellar-worthy French producers meeting pristine Australian seafood.
It’s a meeting of coasts and culture: cold French cellars and warm Australian waters.
Tickets: $265/pp (includes food + beverages)
