Iconic local café and restaurant Caf’ Parap is extending its opening hours and from next Tuesday will entice guests with high tea in the afternoons and haute cuisine for dinner.
Business owner Alicia Waters and head chef Bob Mann are excited to introduce their new team, chefs Joshua Gudgeon and Marina Esteves, who will be heading up the evening operation.
Joshua and Marina have over 20 years combined experience in the industry. Joshua trained as a chef in Melbourne’s popular Matteo’s on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy and has since gained experience working with well-known chefs around Australia. His experience combined with Marina’s Phillipino and Spanish flair will add tantalising new elements to Caf’ Parap’s modern Australian menu.
“They’ll be serving a sumptuous high tea in the afternoons and a tempting menu for dinner. The exciting advantage of a print to order menu is that it will change regularly so each time diners return they’ll be seduced by different choices,” says Bob.
Joshua is excited at the opportunity to bring his passion for fresh ingredients to Caf’ Parap.
“I’ll be sourcing the best produce to use in my food and every dish will have a twist,” he says.
“Some of the dishes that will make a regular appearance on the dinner menu will include prosciutto-wrapped scallops, and Victorian Salt Bush Lamb. We want to offer diners a true modern Australian dining experience in Parap.”
The afternoon tea menu will offer diners a chance to indulge, with dishes including a traditional French Crepe Suzette drizzled in orange and cognac or a berry parfait washed down with homemade lemonade.
The extended hours are in addition to Caf’ Parap’s already popular breakfast and lunch trade.
Caf’ Parap will be open for afternoon tea and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday night starting Tuesday 24 August.
