Last night saw the first of two [Gourmand Supper Clubs](http://prote.in/feed/2013/02/the-gourmand-supper-club-series?ref=protein.xyz) hosted at 1[8 Hewett Street](http://18hewettstreet.com/?ref=protein.xyz). An exclusive 4 course menu was created by Protein's favourite hotspot [Rita’s Bar and Dining](http://www.ritasbaranddining.com/?ref=protein.xyz), with cocktails crafted by their in-house mixologist Missy Flynn. The intimate affair attended by 15 guests took place around the beautiful Man Table designed and painted by French artist [Jean Jullien](http://www.jeanjullien.com/?ref=protein.xyz).

The exceptionally well-executed menu included whiting cruddo, confit rabbit, unthinkably tender onglet and one of Rita’s infamous pies to round things off. The accompanying cocktails, all made using [El Jimador](http://www.eljimador.com/age.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fDefault.aspx&ref=protein.xyz) Tequila, perfectly offset each dish and included a Sage and Roasted Smoked Pineapple Fizz and a pretty serious Plum Manhattan with Absinthe. The experience was further enhanced by the incredible work from the current exhibition of work from the past two issues of [The Gourmand](http://thegourmand.co.uk/?ref=protein.xyz).

The sold out series concludes tomorrow with a menu created by Michelin star chef [Nuno Mendes](http://viajante.co.uk/nuno%5Fmendes/?ref=protein.xyz), founder of the acclaimed Viajante and [Corner Room ](http://townhallhotel.com/corner%5Froom/?ref=protein.xyz)restaurants.
