Test Kitchen Volume 2 by Stefania Puleo

Test Kitchen Volume 2 is a single-day experimental dining event featuring five courses of risky, unprofitable, or unusually weird dishes not suitable for regular service. Hosted by The Melbourne Test Kitchen at The Hardware Club, it takes place on Sunday, 19 April 2026, from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM AEST. The surprise menu includes novel ingredients and preparations, with culinary excellence assured by Lee and a charitable component by Alex, where each ticket provides five additional meals for vulnerable Melburnians. This upscale foodie experience emphasizes innovation and surprise in a fine dining setting.
