The period of celebration for the 2012 Lunar New Year (known as Tet), is about to begin on Sunday 22rd January. Geoff Lindsay’s Vietnamese inspired Dandelion, is joining the festivities with a special dinner on Sunday 29th January.
Tet is considered the biggest and most important festival in the Vietnamese calendar. It’s an occasion for families and friends to feast, pay respect to their ancestors, remove any bad luck from the past year and look to the future. Food is very important to the festival with families only preparing certain dishes during this time.

Salmon Ceviche tossed with pickled lotus roots, Viet mint & palm heart with crispy sesame and coconut rice papers.
To usher in the Year of The Dragon – guests can expect a visit from the Vietnamese dancing Lion to bestow prosperity and happiness to guests and bless the meal, as well as the firecrackers to ward off the evil spirits, Li Xi and other treats!
Geoff and new Dandelion recruit Jerry Mai have created a menu featuring re-workings of traditional Tet dishes at the fabulous price of $88 for 8 courses ($38 for children).
