For the past few years, the fine folk behind QT Hotels have been posting up a bit of a Christmas day for families and friends who want to eat and drink very, very well.
A taste of absolute decadence is packed into the group’s QT At Home boxes, gifting merry-makers a one-stop-shop of deliciousness so they can erase the anxiety of Christmas shopping and focus on what matters.
Each of the QT hotels across Australia and New Zealand offer their own version of the QT At Home Christmas box. And given the hotel group boasts some incredible award-winning restaurants across its collection, including Sydney’s legendary Gowings and Perth’s Santini Bar & Grill, the high standards are understandable.
QT Sydney’s Christmas box, for example, has this year been curated by Executive Chef James Kidman with an incredible range of top-shelf produce including Balmain bugs with thermidor mayo and fresh lime, honey glazed Australian ham with orange, tiramisu with fresh berries and strawberry syrup, and a whopping 1 KG wagyu beef rib eye with grain mustard and veal jus.
You’ll need to order a QT At Home box by this Thursday, 21st December, and pick it up from your respective QT Hotel either on the 23rd or 24th December. Then it’s simply a matter of plating it all up and chowing down, with each box designed for four to six people.
The QT Sydney box includes the following. The others are curated to a similar high standard so click here to see what’s included in yours.
Note that you can pay extra and add a cellar selection of wines, or a bottle of exclusive QT Hotels x Four Pillars gin.
