Clear your calendar (and your stomach) because the much-loved James St Food + Wine Trail is set to return this July with a supersized line-up showcasing the very best of the precinct.
Sprawled across 8,000 square metres, the luxe hub will transform into an urban open-air picnic championing James St’s leading venues and award-winning chefs. Featuring the highest number of participating food and beverage stalls in the event’s history, you can expect 26 resident venues to set up shop in over 40 market stalls—serving more than 170 restaurant-quality dishes and bites to enjoy alfresco-style.
Who’s on the list? Newcomers Hideki Izakaya and Penelope will join crowd-favourites including Biànca, Cru Bar, ēmmē, Essa, Gelato Messina, Gemelli, The Green, Hellenika, Mosconi, sAme sAme, SK Steak & Oyster, Sunshine, and so many more. From the return of delicious faves to countless new additions, your taste buds are in for an absolute treat. We’re talking a dedicated dessert stall from Biànca serving up their famous bomboloni, fried chicken and caviar pairings from ESSA, Jocelyn’s Provisions famous 100s & 1000s lamingtons, and yuzu slushies at Sushi Room. Gelato Messina will also be scooping up the Gold Digger: caramel and vanilla deep fried ice cream and chocolate pudding with biscuit crumbs and dulce de leche. Yeah, stretchy pants will be a necessity.
For those who love a show with their meal, Sushi Room will turn up the drama with their popular whole tuna carving. The iconic community event will also play host to street-wide performances, DJ sets, and children’s activities all day from 10am.
And, as always, entry to James St Food + Wine Trail is completely free.
