Crave Sydney International Food Festival

Overview

A whole month of gastronomic delights awaits Sydneysiders this October with the return of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival.  The jam-packed festival programme will be showcasing the best of local and international cuisine, with a dizzying array of culinary events and experiences.

With a South American theme this year, some of the continent’s most renowned chef’s will be visiting the city to share their food knowledge and skills with us. You can see them at work at the World Chef Showcases October 1^st and 2^nd, at the Hilton Sydney, where renowned international chefs will be pairing with some of Sydney’s finest to swap ideas and knowledge. Not only will see these masters working first hand, you'll get to learn and sample the dishes.

There’s something for everyone, from showcases, discussions and masterclasses with some of the world’s best chefs, to food tours, markets, kids events, and community festivals. For the braver amongst you, dine alongside the lions at Taronga Zoo! And of course the much-loved Night Noodle Markets will be returning to Hyde Park, with traditional Asian hawker style fare. There’s a green edge this year too, with the inaugural 100 mile challenge where five regional teams will be competing to win, with food and wine sourced from within 100 miles of Sydney, which will culminate in banquet lunch for 500 at Eveleigh markets.
