Eight key dishes and a rotating menu will greet new and returning patrons to the Hilton Hotel in Adelaide’s inner west this winter.

Inspired by organic produce grown on-site, the new menu has been launched alongside another new offering – brand new accommodation, which is an exciting change for the family-owned venue.

Hilton Hotel Brand Manager, Elisa Franzon, credits Head Chef, Mareko Winton Webb, with bringing something unique to the table.

“We’re so fortunate to have Mareko on our team, as he’s been part of some very successful establishments before finding us,” says Elisa. “His menu for this winter is varied and features a lot of South Australian produce including what’s grown in Hilton Harvest.”

The brainchild of Elisa in 2016, Hilton Harvest is the hotel’s garden patch that grows organic produce. Inspired by the farm to table trend, it’s harvested weekly with three to four major plantings every year.

As Head Chef, Mareko teams up with the Master Gardener to maintain the Hilton Harvest. Mareko says it aligns with his major inspiration.

“I’m most inspired by seasonal produce, it’s always the starting point,” says Mareko. “Looking at current trends and consumer appetite is important in creating any menu and having organic produce here adds something very special to what we’re doing at Hilton Hotel.”

Mareko was most recently Executive Chef at Qantas First Lounge Sydney International Airport, and before that held Sous Chef roles at Sheraton on the Park and Hilton International hotels in Sydney. His winter menu features South Australian produce such as local wagyu beef and Berkshire pork.

Some of the eight key dishes to feature will be Grilled halloumi salad with Tuscan kale, crispy chickpea and fennel with green goddess dressing, Potato & Spinach gnocchi with semi dried tomatoes, green peas, wild rocket, roasted macadamia and shaved parmesan, and Malaysian beef rendang with steamed jasmine rice, marinated cucumber and chilli with roti paratha.

The menu will change every eight weeks to best utilise fresh, seasonal produce, and provide a greater variety overall for patrons.

MyBeer lager for Hilton Hotel, and new wines from Forage Supply Co will be on offer alongside the new menu. Both will be available for patrons to sample before purchasing

Hilton Hotel is located at 264 South Road, Hilton.
