French cuisine has been a significant chapter in Matt’s career, and this dinner is a chance to revisit some of those influences through the Table Riot lens — generous, relaxed, and designed to be shared.

Expect beautiful produce, classic techniques, bold flavours and a few culinary stories from the kitchens that helped shape the chef behind the feast.

Paris in the 50s and 60s – A Bastille Day event @ Lot 302, Surry Hills

Tonight, we invite you into the shimmering world of Paris in the 50s and 60s—a time when French music defined elegance, passion and poetic rebellion.

Together, they honour the legends who shaped a generation—Piaf, Aznavour, Montand, Bécaud, Distel — while weaving their own signature artistry through every note.

This is more than a concert; it is a celebration of heritage, memory and the enduring heartbeat of Paris. Prepare to be transported, captivated, and swept into the soul of France by two performers who know exactly how to carry the French musical torch with pride.

Celebrate la fête nationale in style with paris after dark
SATURDAY 11 JULY 2026 | 5PM & 7.30PM

Join us in marking France’s national day, a moment that ignited revolution, reshaped a nation, and gave rise to the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity that still echo today.

A Literary Dinner in Three Acts on Bastille Day – Tuesday 14 July

The Artichoke and Cafe Aga invite you to a Bastille Day dinner unlike any other: six courses of French food, matched wines, and three novels that shaped how the world imagines Paris.

Act I — Anaïs Nin, A Spy in the House of Love · Traditional Method Brut

Nocturnal, candlelit, a little undone. We open with smoked salmon and crème fraîche tartlets with caper berries, followed by a Salad Niçoise – precise, Parisian, cold glass in hand.

Act II — Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog · Pinot Gris / Pinot Noir

Classical technique, hidden depth. Chicken fricassee with potatoes dauphinoise, then scotch fillet medallions with sauce béarnaise and greens. The definitive bistro act.

Act III — Patrick Süskind, Perfume · Bordeaux

Dark, fragrant, extraordinary. Parisian love cakes with pistachio and rose, then chocolate profiteroles with crème pâtissière. The final act should linger.

All three books go home with you.

$167 per person — six courses, matched wines, three books

$157 per person — six courses, three books, no wine

Spaces are very limited. Bookings essential.
