What Is A Degustation Menu?

When going out for a meal, many of us often find several dishes on a menu Brisbane that we would happily choose, which is why a new craze that is sweeping across the country’s finest restaurants is becoming increasingly popular. Here at Tukka our highly qualified and dedicated chefs have created a selection of degustation menu’s that showcase the best produce and ingredients we able to source and are designed to give you the ultimate dining experience. We utilise what we find on our doorstep and are passionate about using the native stock available from our beautiful country.

A degustation menu is in its simplest form a menu put together for tasting. It can sometimes comprise of up to 20 courses where you will be given a selection of fine food to sample. More often than not these menus are matched with quality wine that will complement each course.

There are 2 degustation menus to choose from here at Tukka, both are designed to take your taste buds on a journey across the country and with each course comes a specially selected wine. You can choose from either our 5 or 7 course menu, both of which include specialities such as farmed crocodile and kangaroo fillet.

Whether you want to visit us with your loved one to enjoy a quiet night of exquisite dining or as part of a group of friends wanting to experience the tastes of one of our degustation menus, we have something to offer to all. Whilst dining with us at Tukka we will ensure that every last detail of your evening is perfect, teaming our fine food with high quality service from the minute you step through our doors.
