Best Truffle Menus & Events in Melbourne 2025

Truffle and Terroir at Omnia

When Bannockburn’s elegant wines meet Omnia’s cool-season imagination, magic unfolds. This year’s truffle dinner is a masterclass in winter indulgence — bluefin tuna with truffled jamon cream, soufflé laced with Comté, wagyu rib cap under a veil of truffle miso. Each course is matched with new and rare pours from Bannockburn, as winemaker Matt Holmes shares the stories behind the vintage. It’s decadent, intimate, and impossible to forget.

Add a touch of indulgence with a decadent Buxton truffle upgrade for just $10. Winter warmth, sorted.

Best Truffle Dishes in Melbourne 2025

Truffle Enhanced Ballotine Chicken — Malin

Malin’s beloved ballotine chicken is already a hallmark of refined comfort, but its winter incarnation — elevated with seasonal Manjimup truffles — borders on the transcendent. Poached to perfection and delicately perfumed with truffle, the chicken arrives alongside vin jaune and earthy mushrooms, each element deepening the dish’s complexity.

The nutty lift of the wine, the umami-rich mushroom, the warmth of the bird — it’s a study in elegant restraint and layered flavour. Shaved to order and rich in seasonal theatre, this is a dish to savour — slowly, reverently — no matter how tempting it is to devour.

687 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North

Secret Kitchen’s Steamed Cheong Fun with Scallop and Black Truffle

Secret Kitchen might just be the ultimate spot for truffle lovers this month. While we’re keeping fingers (and chopsticks) crossed for the return of their legendary Steamed Cheong Fun with Scallop and Black Truffle — a luxe twist on the yum cha classic — there’s still plenty of truffle goodness to savour. Their Black Truffle Prawn Dumplings and Scallop Siu Mai with Truffle deliver all the opulence, wrapped in delicate parcels of flavour.

With grand interiors, this iconic CBD spot is perfect for a truffle-laced feast that feels as bougie as it tastes.

222 Exhibition Street, Melbourne 

RIPE Cheese’s Truffle Toastie, Queen Victoria Market

This is no ordinary toastie. Each winter, the legends at RIPE Cheese craft Melbourne’s most indulgent handheld delight: a golden, melty truffle toastie laced with cheddar, mozzarella, truffle honey and a whisper of black truffle salt. Just when you think it can’t get any dreamier, they finish it with a generous flourish of freshly shaved Australian black truffle. It’s rich, gooey and gloriously aromatic, and best devoured fresh from the press as market life bustles all around you.
