Overview
Whatever dinner plans you have in July, you'd best cancel them. And your lunch dates and brekkie hangouts, just to be safe. They're the kind of things you can do any old time. Gorging yourself silly at Brisbane Good Food Month isn't.
Pop-up eateries, celebrity chefs and all the restaurant specials you can dream of are on the agenda for this year's mouthwatering, month-long food bonanza, which boasts plenty of old favourites as well as a whole heap of new events. The return of the oh-so-popular Night Noodle Markets falls into the former category, taking over South Bank from July 20 to 31. As for the latter, well, where do we begin?
Enjoying a sit-down meal on the Goodwill Bridge is certain to get your stomach rumbling, and dinner with the team behind TV's Plonk should as well. So will Brisbane stopovers from some of the best culinary kings — and their respective kitchens — in the business, with George Calombaris bringing his Gazi favourites to Atalanta, Frank Camorra whisking MoVida's finest to Gerard's Bistro, David Thompson showcasing his Nahm best at LONgTIME, and Momofoku Seiōbo executive chef Paul Carmichael cooking up a storm at GOMA.
With a three-course vegan feast with matched wines at Urbane and an eight-course chef's table evening at Gauge on the bill as well, not to mention Luke Nguyen letting patrons peek behind the scenes at Fat Noodle too, one thing is certain — if you're feeling hungry at any point during July, then you're doing Good Food Month wrong. Thank goodness it happens in winter, because with all these tasty morsels on offer, the entire city will need to be breaking out their stretchiest pants.
Brisbane Good Food Month runs from July 1 to 31 at various restaurants and venues across the city. For more information, check out the Good Food Month website.
