Good beer and good food go together like salt and pepper, so this Good Beer Week our friends Smudge Eats and Mountain Goat have teamed up with 20 of Melbourne's best dining venues to offer a $40 set course lunch menu, paired with the perfect Goat.
Rice Paper Scissors is modelled on the hawker dining bars of South East Asia with a shared-eating concept being the focus of their offerings. They aim to serve only the freshest ingredients, sourced organically and ethically where possible.
At their Fitzroy venue, you can choose between five dishes from the complete menu below to be shared between two people, all matched with a Mountain Goat Steam Ale for $40 each.
