There have been lots of firsts for restaurants over the past year. Prior to the pandemic, I would never have imagined fine dining establishments offering delivery and takeaway menus. However, times are a-changing, and we’re grateful to benefit from the expert skill of Chef Don John Sta Maria and his team in the Sage Family Takeaway Set.

Known for their award-winning French-Japanese nouvelle cuisine served in a contemporary fine dining setting, Sage Restaurant and Wine Bar’s delivery menu veers from custom. Instead, it provides pre-cooked family meals designed for three to four pax to share. While the portioning of cuisine may have been adapted, the attention to detail remains.

Customers can choose from beef Wellington, whole roasted chicken, wagyu tomahawk, lamb rack, cod, sole fillet and whole turbot as the principal plate. Each main is served with Sage’s signature basil dip, assorted bread, crème brulee and three side dishes of your choosing.

Bread

We opt for the Whole Roasted Corn Fed Chicken with Truffle Jus (RM 238). It arrives golden brown and just needs a quick reheat in the oven before it’s ready to eat. More than enough for four pax, hubby and I have leftovers, which we happily use for sandwiches and salads over the next couple of days. We stretch out that truffle jus too, making sure our bread “mops” leave nothing behind.

Of the sides, we pick Dauphinoise Potato au Gratin, Grilled Asparagus Broccolini and Beans, and Button Mushroom Bordelaise. The greens are fresh and crisp, the potato decadently creamy and the Bordelaise excellent with the accompanying baguettes. Living up to Sage’s fine dining name, we could have also chosen some more lavish sides, such as Confit Foie Gras or Smoked Duck Salad.

Sage Family Takeaway Set – Dessert

Dessert, Vanilla Crème Brulee, is included in the Sage Family Takeaway Set. I think it is just the right portion not being a sweet tooth myself. I can easily see conflict over the last spoons of the pudding, though if there’s more than one dessert lover in a household. After I’d had an initial spoon for tasting purposes, hubby had the remains scoffed down even before I’d poured myself a second glass of wine. And, bringing your attention to wine…

Wine

Fine food deserves fine wine, and Sage has an excellent list to match. Proving an exciting mate for our roast chicken, the 2019 Shaw + Smith, M3, Adelaide Hills Chardonnay (RM 350) is something to take note of. This cool-climate chardonnay has set the standard for the grape since M3’s inception in 2003. Whole-bunch pressed and matured on lees, the wine offers a superb balance of acidity and creaminess. This good drinking now but has potential for cellaring up to 2029. Highly recommend.
