Good Food Month Brisbane 2019

Overview

Friends, food and plenty of excuses to quench your thirst — that's what your July diary has in store, especially if you make a date with Good Food Month. Once a year, Brisbane becomes a culinary wonderland, with every eatery, restaurant and bar around town getting in on the action. When you're not brunching by the beach, you'll be tucking into an Australian-themed high tea in the CBD. Or, maybe you'll be drinking, dancing and feasting at a big band cabaret dinner and show.

There are no shortage of choices at this year's foodie celebration, which runs the whole month and then some — all thanks to the returning Night Noodle Markets, which take over the South Bank Cultural Forecourt from Wednesday, July 24 to Monday, August 4. There's no shortage of talent, either, particularly if you're keen on up-and-coming kitchen maestros. Indeed, on Sunday, July 14, you'll find the next generation of great chefs all cooking up a storm at GFM's annual Young Chefs Lunch.

Other highlights include sustainable dinners, French-themed celebrations for Bastille Day, oh-so-many truffles, Greek delights and plenty of free-flowing booze. Also on the agenda: many a reason to learn more about wine over a meal, hearty pastas to keep you warm during winter, and sitting down to dishes all expertly paired with sake. Whether you're hankering for a lazy lunch, or fancy a decadent dinner, it's on the menu. The usual GFM advice applies — arrive hungry.
