Exceptional events begin long before guests take their seats.
They begin with carefully selected seasonal ingredients, chefs who genuinely love what they create, and a team that believes every course should become part of the experience.
Meet our pastry chef, Frederique, who is behind our dessert menu and discover how one of Metropolis’ signature desserts come to life.
At Metropolis, our menus evolve with the seasons, celebrating the finest produce at its peak. Every dish begins with carefully selected ingredients, thoughtful flavour pairings and a clear vision for the experience we want to create.
For Frederique, winter has always been the most inspiring season.
“There’s something about winter that feels cosy and moody, and I try to make my desserts fit that vibe. I wanted our signature apple dessert to capture that feeling, taking the familiarity of a classic apple crumble and reimagining it in a modern way.”
– Frederique, Pastry Chef

At Metropolis Events, dining is part of the overall story of the wedding day. The winter menu is not only seasonal, it is designed to enhance the atmosphere of a city celebration.
Because in a space surrounded by Melbourne’s skyline, every detail matters.
And while guests may not remember every ingredient, they will remember how the evening felt – warm, considered, and entirely their own.
