Food Safari Hunter Valley

 

To make the most of my time in the Hunter Valley, I recently went on a Dining Safari Experience. This was a specially curated food tour that takes you to 5 different venues where you can taste food with a matching wine or other drink.

The Ambassador Training Restaurant, Ryde (Buffet night)

 

Life has been busy between work, my child starting preschool and left field things that life throws at you! As a belated mini celebration, I head back to the Ambassador Restaurant which is a training restaurant for the Corden Bleu School. 

You need to book ahead as there are set dates in which the schools open up to the public to book. I booked Friday 13th June for dinner. 

The Ambassador Restaurant, Ryde

 

I've often driven past the Ambassador Training Restaurant which is located within the Ryde TAFE at the Le Corden Bleu school. The bookings availability appears to be mostly mid-week slots, some at dinner time and some at lunch time. Just after Valentines Day, I manage to get a slot on a Monday night. It's a three course meal for $44, plus any drinks you order. I think that's quite good value and you are also supporting trainee chefs and staff.
