A Glamorous Melbourne Cup Day

Ladies, gents, and race-day royalty — it’s time to dust off your dazzling frocks, polish those fascinators, and get ready for a Melbourne Cup Day at Cibo Parnell that is all style, sparkle, and sensational flavours!

On Tuesday 4th November, we are popping the corks and serving up an unforgettable day of racing, fashion, and fabulous feasting.

We’ll be rolling out the red carpet with a glass of Taittinger Cuvée Prestige or a house-crafted cocktail on arrival to get you in the winning spirit. Then, settle in for a 5-course menu lovingly crafted by our chefs — the perfect fuel for an afternoon of cheering, mingling, and showing off your race-day best.

Expect big screens so you won’t miss a moment of the trackside action, sweeps and spot prizes, and of course, our coveted Best Dressed competition — because Melbourne Cup Day is as much about the glamour as the gallop.

Whether your horse hits the finish line first or brings up the rear, you’ll still be celebrating in style with fabulous food, flowing bubbles, and the best company in Parnell.
