GLOOM AND GOURMET

Join Waitlist

Enter the deliciously dark world of Gloom and Gourmet

Indulge in a sumptuous banquet and fine wines as you’re swept into an evening of haunting melodies and razor-sharp spoken word by The Deity and the Damned. From spine-tingling murder ballads to poetry that pierces the soul, this is storytelling that lingers long after the last bite. It’s wit, wine and wickedness served fresh at Parap Fine Foods.

Your evening begins with a blind tasting to tease the palate, before a banquet of bold, beautiful flavours unfolds. Slow-cooked lamb kleftiko – roasted overnight in a family brick oven – takes centre stage, alongside crispy filo tiropita, creamy tzatziki with dill oil and cucumber pearls, and a Greek village salad dressed with Kalymnian honey. You’ll savour tender octopus with fava and Kalamata purée, rich beef orzo with demi-glace and finish with a Medusa chocolate mousse topped with hazelnut crumble. The experience is paired with a curated selection of wine, beer and non-alcoholic offerings designed to complement every decadent bite.
