The Italian-style pop up brings the mealtime experience of cats to life for their owners.
The unique pop-up restaurant will bring the mealtime experience of cats to life for cat owners and lovers. ‘Gatto Bianco by Fancy Feast’ dishes (for humans!) take inspiration from the detail that goes into crafting each individual Fancy Feast Petite Delights recipe, while paying homage to Elmo’s traditional Italian cuisine.
With more cats per capita than any other country in the world, New Zealand is the purr-fect destination to host the pop-up dining concept.
Auckland’s ‘Gatto Bianco by Fancy Feast’ experience builds on the success of New York’s ‘Gatto Bianco by Fancy Feast’ experience by showing Kiwi cat owners the delight a well-planned meal brings to their feline friends at every meal.
As an exclusive dining opportunity, ‘Gatto Bianco by Fancy Feast’ will be available for two nights only with cat lovers having the opportunity to win one of 12 reservations for a table of 2 people each night.
Elmo’s co-founder Bronwyn Payne says, “We have loved creating the delectable Italian-inspired ‘Gatto Bianco by Fancy Feast’ menu and infusing the passion and love Kiwis have for their cats into our dishes. Our personal favourite is the super cute paw print Tiramisu - the purrfect grammable dessert.”
24 lucky cat lovers will have their tastebuds transported to Italy for the evening, enjoying a free tasting menu created by Elmo’s Executive Chef, Joel Bartosh.
The ‘Gatto Bianco by Fancy Feast’ menu begins with an amuse-bouche ‘saucer of milk’ with white chocolate and miso, then moves onto a selection of sumptuous entrées including yellowfin tuna crudo, pizza fritta, and tomatoes four-ways, a delicious main dish of chicken and sage petite tortellini, and finally for dessert Elmo’s pawfect classic tiramisu Italian dessert.
Fancy Feast’s in-house global chef Amanda Hassner says, “Food has the power to connect us to others in meaningful ways and take us to places we have never been, and the same is true for our feline friends. The dishes at Gatto Bianco are prepared in ways that help cat owners understand how their cats experience food – from flavour, to texture, to form – in a way that only Fancy Feast can."
Purina New Zealand Head of Marketing Mark White says, "Fancy Feast is renowned for creating experiences that highlight the everlasting bond between a cat and its owner. So we’re incredibly excited to be working with the talented team at Elmo’s in Auckland, to bring mealtimes and ‘Gatto Bianco by Fancy Feast’ to life, through this unique dining concept.”
For those who don't secure a coveted spot at Auckland’s Gatto Bianco pop-up, Fancy Feast will share recipes from the menu to its subscriber community, so that cat lovers across the country can have an exceptional dining experience in their own homes.
