Videre Restaurant

One of the finest chefs on the Gold Coast Glen Bacon put on a stunning dinner for the Chaine des Rotisseurs in Videre Restaurant at the Royal Pines Resort recently.

Held in the refurbished 21^st floor Videre with its sweeping Gold Coast backdrop the dinner began with NV veuve d’ Argent, Blanc de Blanc and canapés which included steamed prawns on lemongrass with a lime leaf sauce and tuna lollipops with sesame and soy.

Entrées, accompanied by 2008 Woodstock Riesling, McLaren Vale, South Australia, were wild harvest scallop, garlic velvet, parsley jubes and pine nut oil; pressed terrine of duck, caramelized Campari, spice cake, confit blood oranges.

Pressed terrine of duck

Main course was a tender roasted flat iron steak, miso eggplant, puffed rice and horseradish accompanied by a 2010 French Domaine de la Renjarde, Cotes du Rhone.

Ice Igloo

A French martini sherbet dusted with gold leaf was served as a palate cleanser between courses. 

Glen excelled himself by presenting it in his trademark 

"ice igloo"

To conclude a stunning menu a mango parfait, frozen ginger beer, rum cake, kalamansi lime gelee with a 2011 Frogmore creek iced Riesling from the Coal River Valley.

Mango Parfait

The night was highlighted by the customary Glen Bacon flair and, of course, dishes of a very high standard.

If a benchmark were needed for Chaine dinners, this was it.
