Even as Sydney-siders, there’s something about a food festival in Melbourne that makes us tingle with joy. You’ve got to give it to Melbourne... it’s a city that knows (and loves) its food, and certainly isn’t shy about it.Taste Fest hit Sydney a few months ago and saw Jamie Oliver rocking-out (quite literally) and cooking up a storm for a live crowd of VERY willing tasters. But even with Jamie headlining while blasting out some beats on his drum-kit, and Sydney’s best restaurants knocking our socks off, there’s something about Taste Melbourne that makes our hearts race even faster...
The line-up is like a who’s-who of Australian dining, including: Charcoal Lane, Esposito, Le Traiteur, Libertine, Longrain Restaurant & Bar, maze & maze Grill, Melbourne Wine Room, Mezzo Bar & Grill, Mr. Wolf, The European, The Palace by Luke Mangan, Sarti, Stokehouse Restaurant & Bar.
Add to this, the introduction of THE POP UP RESTAURANT (oh how we love Melbourne for this)
Each day a ‘pop up’ restaurant will steal the limelight...
Thursday: French by Koots Salle a Manger
Friday: Tapas by Comida Bebe by Raúl MorenoYagüe
Saturday: Japanese from Izakaya Den
Sunday: French moderne from Embrasse.
A weekend ticket is clearly the only answer.
If your foodie tastes ebb towards the produce-scene rather than fine-dining, then prepare yourself - over 90 producers will fill out the festival... glutton & nuts personal faves include: Green & Blacks, Mövenpick of Switzerland, Bultarra meats, Gridlock coffee and Bagdad foods. Then there’s the selection of spirits and liquors whole be present... best we don’t even begin that list...
If you’re a fan of foodie activities then grab yourself a ticket top the Australian Gourmet Traveller Chef’s Table where you can get to meet a range of top chefs, the Gourmet Traveller Wine Theatre where you can taste and learn about rare and boutique wines, and the Bacardi 'Art of Cocktail Making' class – which is a dangerously enjoyable a step-by-step lesson on how to make the world’s best cocktails...
