After a sell-out season last year, the international award winning Ferris Wheel Dining Experience will be returning to Luna Park Sydney through the upcoming peak season.

Hosted by The Deck Sydney at Milsons Point, The Ferris Wheel Dining Experience offers patrons a unique dining experience, serving a mouth-watering three-course meal from the spectacular vantage point in their own private carriage. Boasting views spanning from the Sydney Opera House, across the CBD skyline and sweeping under the Harbour Bridge to Walsh Bay, the concept was recently named ‘Best New Innovation in Food and Beverage’ at the International Association of Amusement Park and Attraction (IAAPA) 2014 Brass Ring Awards.

Running from October through to March next year, The Deck’s talented Brasserie Chef, Michael Roper, will prepare a five-star menu using the freshest local produce, with hand selected wines to match. The VIP experience begins with a glass of sparkling wine and an Amuse-Bouche upon arrival, before guests are escorted to their own fully equipped carriage.

Guests are treated to a moreish Entrée Platter to share, including freshly shucked Sydney Rock Oysters, Foie Gras Torchon, Wild Mushroom Tartlet with Woodside Goats Curd and King Crab Meat with Heirloom Tomatoes, Baby Leaves and Cucumber Dressing.

For a main course, diners can choose between a fresh Barramundi Fillet served with Peas, Kipfler Potatoes, Lemon Beurre Blac and Red Vein Sorrel or a delicious Confit Duck Maryland with Porcini Infused Polenta, Caramelized Witlof and Red Cabbage Puree.

For a sweet finish, couples are served a delectable dessert platter to share, which includes a Three Layered Chocolate Tart, Amaretti with Amaretto Semifreddo and Fresh Berries and Cointreau Soaked Orange Cake with Lemon Curd and Candied Orange.

The Ferris Wheel Dining Experience is being promoted as the perfect gift for any special occasion and a hot spot for marriage proposals. Happy to go above and beyond for their guests for the most memorable experience, The Deck team can even ensure the carriage is in the perfect spot at the top to ‘pop the question’.

Past diners include bachelor Tim Robbards and Anna Heinrich, Luke Jacobz and Katie Hanson and Love Child’s Gracie Gilbert.

Carriages can be purchased for $399 each, with gift vouchers also available.
