The Out to Lunch Bunch
Calling all ladies who lunch! You are a perfect candidate for the Out to Lunch Bunch if you can answer yes to any or all of the following questions:
1. Do you have an interest in food (can range from slightly intrigued to food obsessed)?
2. Are you willing to sit with others over food and/or wine without throwing a tantrum?
3. Are you open to experiencing the diverse food culture of Melbourne?
4. Do you have an ability to appreciate the art of having fun?
If you think you may be qualified, then join us for the next gathering on Tuesday, October 14th, at C’est Bon, 396 Bay St, Port Melbourne at 12PM. In the coming months, the Out to Lunch Bunch will be travelling the culinary globe while staying right here in Melbourne. Our first outing will be to experience a little bit of France via C’est Bon.
Passports are not required and no packing is involved so come and join us for some good food and fun! RSVP to anniedo123@gmail.com
