Good Food Month presented by Citi returns to Brisbane this November for its seventh year running, bringing together some of Australia’s biggest names for a celebration of the senses. Pull up a chair at the table and enjoy a meal with some of Brisbane’s best chefs in some of Brisbane’s best venues. Brisbane’s Good Food Month is a celebration of home-grown talent, exceptional produce and the power of culinary collaborations!
Brisbane Food Month will see renowned chef Alanna Slapwell bring her Noosa pop-up, Esmay, to Brisbane’s Baja Restaurant. Only a few blocks over, Adam Wolfers of Gerard’s Bistro, Alex Munoz of Labart, and Louis Tikaram will reunite at Tikaram’s Stanley Restaurant to deliver a delightfully nostalgic dinner party. And culinary talents will collide as the skilful team at the CBD’s Donna Chang Restaurant combine forces with the gelato gods of Gelato Messina for a yum cha high tea experience like no other!
