Thirty foodie events happening across Melbourne's west.

Overview
Melbourne's west is fast developing a reputation for having some of the finest food venues and cultural experiences in the city. Celebrating the best of the west, Eat. Drink. Westside 2018 is a ten-day festival demonstrating the community's diverse flavours and people. Presented as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival 2018, the program features thirty delicious events ranging from lunches to dinners and masterclasses all hosted by some of the country's leading chefs.
The events span a diverse range of cuisines from all over the world, too. There'll be an Ethiopian Banquet ($45) — a buffet of meat stews, vegetarian curries and lentil dishes at Footscray's much-loved Konjo Café — served traditionally sans cutlery. Meanwhile, at the Plough Hotel, you can enjoy pork, beer and wine at Pigs, Pints and Pinots — and there's the added bonus of all profits going to local primary schools. Copper Pot Seddon is celebrating the local community, hosting a three-course Sunday roast at its Community Farm event ($78) and the just-opened Harley and Rose will be roasting a whole pig and serving it in tacos at its What's on the Barbeque Block Party ($28). Book nerd with a penchant for cheese? The Chronicles of Cheese ($35) will pair one with the other at the Sam Merrifield Library.
Eat. Drink. Westside 2018 is presented across the western suburbs from Friday, March 16, to Sunday, March 25. Head to the Melbourne Food and Wine website for all the details and to book your places.
