KING & GODFREE HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERY MUM
There’s one day of the year where it’s all about mum, and this Mother’s Day there will be no better place than to spoil her across the weekend than at King & Godfree. The iconic Carlton venue, home to a deli, espresso bar, rooftop and soon to be wine and cellar bar will play host to an array of special events and offerings. Whether it be a Gnocchi masterclass, learning the traditional techniques of pasta making, a complimentary prosecco on the roof at Johnny’s Green Room or an elegant
set menu at the soon to be open wine bar, Agostino, there’s a little something for every mum.
King & Godfree Cellar will be hosting the first ever Gnocchi Masterclass held in the venue’s cellar on Saturday 11 May from 11am-2pm. The class will involve learning the basic skills of gnocchi making and shaping using various tools, just to mix it up a little. Following the class, an Italian feast will be dished up with a selection of sauces, cheese, salads and bread paired with wine from the Agostino bottle shop. Gnocchi Masterclass is $95pp and is an intimate, hands on course with only limited tickets available. Over at the Espresso Bar $1 from every café latte donated to Miracle Mums, a charity supporting the vital work of The Royal Women’s Hospital. Alongside every purchase in the espresso bar, a homemade hazelnut and milk chocolate baci will be gifted just for mum, just to make her day that little bit sweeter.
Agostino will be opening its Lygon St doors for mammas, nonnas and all the women in your life this Mother’s Day with seating available for lunch and dinner. With the 50-seater wine bar officially opening in May, this is a delicious preview of what is to come.
