The Six menu at the second last day of IDES.
Details
Hi all,
Note: ensure to read the RSVP rules below on how to secure your spot for this event (Ides restaurant closing) after placing your name on the waitlist.
Some may have heard of the news that IDES’ last day is on the 14th March 2026 and the early session times were quickly taken on this day after their closure announcement. https://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/food-and-drink/article/peter-gunn-to-close-ides-in-march, https://www.theage.com.au/goodfood/melbourne-eating-out/it-may-have-dropped-the-degustation-and-a-hat-but-this-fine-diner-is-still-a-winner-20260119-p5nv5k.html
I managed to reserve a table of 6 for The Six sample menu at 6:30pm, Friday 13th March 2026.
Those members who attended the farewell dinner at ides 2 years ago marking the founder’s (also group organizer) resignation from her Fine Diners group, would appreciate how nice Ides restaurant was/is. On this day the new organiser/s was/were also appointed for our group…the drum rolled and coronation was officially announced.
Anyways, back to the dinner at Ides-
Steps required to secure your seat to attend this event:
•Payment is required in order of RSVP. (Click on the waitlist to view the number in the queue next to your name)
•The first 6 members on the waitlist have 48 hours to make payment in full after placing your name on waitlist
•If payment is not made within this timeframe, you will have to give up your sport to the next member in line (eg member on queue number 7th) or you will be removed to "not going list" and if you wish to attend, feel free to re-place your name on the going list to re-queue
•Once payment is received I will move your name across to the going list.
•Cost of dinner:
The Six set menu and the Black Box is $188.70/person including card surcharge for food only. Drinks not included and can be purchased on the evening.
>>>>If you change your mind or cancel and are not attending in less than 48 hours' notice before the scheduled event or you are at risk of a cancellation fee of the full price of the reserved menu per person.
Time etiquette:
A strict 3-hour dining time has been allocated for us. Please arrive early or on time.
(I have reserved a table for 6 - please read the RSVP rules above to lock in your spot) (Most likely I won't be able to make it, but I will be meeting you there to finalise the bill for food that you paid me once everyone is arrived and seated. It’s similar to what I have done for the members for the Duck event at Aru last year
I hope you can make it.
Cheers,
LeAnn
