When we received the invite in our inbox we knew straight away we would pair jewels with cocktails! When we walked in, we were greeted and taken to our first stop to the glam cocktail lounge. Home to a view which is by far one of the best in Canberra, from lakeside to city.
QT Canberra is a unique designer hotel that celebrates its history through bold design and a mix of quirky artifacts. We love the bespoke furniture and daring use of colour and art throughout the hotel.
We were tantalised by 4 different cocktails:

We were then taken down to the Capitol Bar & Grill to start a nine course, delectable dinner from their newest menu including delicous Tuna Belly Carpaccio, Ice Radishes, Organic Mint Tea Smoked Grape Tomatoes, Young Coriander, Lime.
The concept restaurant Capitol Bar & Grill offers a range of fine, international and local wine, bistro classics and future favorites with an Italian twist.
The Classic Spiced Duck Confit Leg, Lentils, Carrot Chunks, etc, etc melted in our mouths! It was the best duck I have ever eaten. Right, next week we are coming back for that!
Out of the nine dishes, we had to pick our top three. The duck the Tuna Carpaccio and the plate of jewels! Just kidding the dessert!
You should have seen the theatrics of this dessert. We indulged in a Kubrick Era Dessert, White Chocolate Dome Filled with Quince, Double Chocolate Mousse, Spearmint Sorbet, Bitter Chocolate Crumble, Collapsing Dark Chocolate Sauce. It melted our eyes and our hearts.
