The juggernaut that is Masterchef Australia is showing no signs of slowing down. It's taken over our television screens as we watch the highs and lows, find new recipes and vicariously live the life of a celebrity chef. Well, you may not be able to be a celebrity chef but you can certainly dine like one when the MasterChef Dining & Bar returns to Melbourne.


The man in charge of the food for this pop-up is Monty Koludrovic, former head chef of Bécasse restaurant. He's the man who's usually pulling the foodie strings behind the MasterChef set. Here he will be at the forefront, dishing up an exciting culinary cocktail that's one part fine dining and one part Masterchef television atmosphere shaken and stirred and presented in the spectacular rooftop setting of Melbourne Crown.

Dates
The Melbourne pop up runs from Tuesday 1 October to Sunday 20 October.

Venue
The rooftop at Melbourne Crown


Food
You have a few options for your MasterChef dining experience. The restaurant will be open for lunch or dinner (with both early and late sittings) from Tuesdays to Sundays or you might prefer cucumber sandwiches and champagne for high tea on Sunday afternoons.

The 4 course sample menu, which is subject to change, has already been released, and includes such mouthwatering dishes as baked salmon with aromatic shellfish vinaigrette, peas and herbs, the edible garden, or the rose, saffron and olive trifle with candied almond. You can see the full sample menu here . If you don't fancy dining with the masses you can have a more intimate experience when you hire your own private dining room for groups of twelve.

Chefs
Depending on when you visit you may be able to meet and greet some of the Masterchef contestants from previous series. You'll need to keep checking the booking calendar to see the dates your favourites are appearing. On the list for Melbourne are Andy Allen, Callum Hann, Alice Zavlasky, Alvin Quah, Chris Badenoch and Mindy Woods.


Wine
One of Australia's best known sommeliers, David Jouy, will be selecting award winning wines from Australia and overseas to complement the menus. You can purchase a premium wine package with wines matched to your courses or simply buy your wine by the bottle.

Bar
The MasterChef bar will be open throughout the pop up. There's no need to book, just walk in, choose something refreshing from the cocktail and drinks menu and sit back and enjoy the views. They will also be offering snacks from a special bar menu.

Last year's Masterchef dining experience was a huge success and bookings were snapped up by enthusiasts and the curious well in advance, so this is one where you can't afford to sit around debating the merits of going. It's MasterChef, okay. You know you want to. Just do it.
