It’s a staple on the Adelaide Culinary scene and for good reason with Madame Hanoi serving up some of the best cuisines this side of the Torrens and now, the French-Vietnamese eatery is inviting you on a culinary journey through the streets of Hanoi with its inaugural Seafood Street Festival.
Picture this: the freshest catch, the finest ingredients, and a brand-new Head Chef steering the ship. From August 22 to September 30, the Seafood Street Festival at Madame Hanoi returns.
New Head Chef, Sean Thomas brings a passion for punchy flavours and a particular love for seafood. Having soaked up the vibrant street-food culture of South-East Asia, he’s brought his passion to Adelaide’s Madame Hanoi.
For Sean, this is more than just a restaurant; it’s a place where culinary exploration knows no bounds.
Sean said: “It’s a fast paced and vibrant venue, with the food to match. The kitchen is small, and the flavours are bold. Customers come to have a fun experience and with an open kitchen you can’t miss a beat.”
“For the festival, I’m sourcing as much local seafood as I can and matching it with strong Asian flavours. The trick is not over-powering the beautiful produce so that the seafood is the hero of the dish.”
A special Seafood Street Festival menu will sit alongside Madame Hanoi’s regular menu until the end of September, where bold flavours are to be expected and social dining is encouraged.
On the limited-time menu are mouth-watering options including Oyster shooters with sake and salmon roe, grilled octopus skewers with turmeric caramel sauce, king prawns with Vietnamese chilli sate sauce, and the showstopping whole squid with Kampot pepper and lemongrass butter.
But that’s not all – Wednesdays are for sharing! Gather your friends and dive into the Seafood Boil, a feast of king prawns, blue swimmer crab, clams, mussels, sweetcorn, and potato. You can get messy with the condiments or opt for upgrades like Bao buns and rice or even a half-lobster.
If you’re all about experiencing seafood in style, Thursday nights bring back the legendary Seafood Tower. Brace yourself for a vertical tasting extravaganza with tiers of fresh, grilled, fried seafood, and more.
Madame Hanoi is the multi-award-winning French-Vietnamese restaurant and cocktail bar at SkyCity Adelaide, sharing the story of French influence on Vietnamese cuisine through bold flavours and an electrifying energy.
