Good Food Month is back for 2021

  • May 6, 2021
  • Liz Rudenko

Melbourne Good Food Month presented by Citi, supported by the City of Melbourne and Victorian Government, will safely return to Melbourne this June, celebrating the very best of the capital city for the eighth sensational year. Tickets are now live only at goodfoodmonth.com.

This year’s programme celebrates culinary collaborations between homegrown industry talent from different corners of the country as Neil Perry takes over Flower Drum; Alanna Sapwell brings her travelling restaurant, Esmay, to life at Bar Liberty; a talented line up of young chefs unite, hand-picked and led by the punk rock queen of veg herself, Shannon Martinez, and Culinary Consultant Ian Curley, for a lunch at Lona Misa; and Andrew McConnell’s Cumulus Inc. hosts Cho Cho San for one night only before the legendary Cumulus Inc. team joins forces with Good Weekend and Good Food to bring The Good Weekend Quiz: Food Edition to Melbourne for the first time at Chapter House.

Venessa Cowell, Head of Nine Food Events said, “More than ever before, the importance of supporting the Melbourne hospitality and dining industry is at the front and centre of our minds. This year, not just throughout the month of June, but at every opportunity, in any way you can, together let’s throw our support behind the venues that we love and those we take for granted as being part of the fabric of Melbourne.”

Presenting Partner Citi is offering their customers a 20% discount on feature event tickets when customers pay with a Citi card. T&Cs apply.

Samantha Elliott, Head of Digital Sales and Marketing at Citi said “Citi customers love to dine out, and with travel being difficult at the moment it’s the perfect excuse to explore the culinary adventures available in your local city. Good Food Month will provide the perfect reason to try that new restaurant or head to one of the excellent events we have on offer, including the Young Chefs Dinner presented by Citi which spotlights new industry talent.”

City Activation portfolio lead, Councillor Roshena Campbell, said Melbourne is undoubtedly the foodie capital of Australia and there is no better time to support the city’s world-class dining.

“Sponsored through our City Reactivation Event Grants, Good Food Month will be helping to revitalise our hospitality and entertainment sectors by bringing more people back to the city.” Cr Campbell said.

Tony Bennett - An icon, a legend and a gentleman 🖤

I have loved Tony Bennett’s music since I was a kid and first heard his rendition of ‘The Way You Look Tonight’. 

At his concert many years later, after a 3 hour set, the audience could not stop cheering, he came back on stage and said ‘call your babysitters and tell them you’ll be late tonight, we’re not done here’ and sang for another hour … it was and will always be the greatest concert I have ever been to.

Thank you Tony for the music, the magic, the romance RIP 🖤

The movie is absolute perfection, genius writing, amazing cast, in depth storytelling and just an overall joy. I can’t remember the last time an audience laughed, cried, and clapped throughout a movie many times over, couldn’t recommend it more!

Thank you so much for having us @palacecinemas and huge thank you to @susie.hair_theaphrodite for my hair 🎀🎥

The current Pierre Bonnard exhibit is absolutely STUNNING and curated in the most amazing way by the incredible India Mahdavi.

Couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Bastille Day and enjoy the ultimate French experience 🇫🇷🖼️🥂
