Living on the Sunshine Coast you don’t have to look too far to see that our food and drink scene is absolutely cooking right now – and not just in the kitchen.
From beachside bites to hinterland harvests, flavour innovation is bubbling over in every direction. And it all comes together at our signature foodie festival, The Curated Plate, kicking off on 25 July.
The 10-day feast features nearly 30 events across the region which take us behind the scenes showcasing our local producers, chefs and makers and shining a light on those who are shaping the Sunshine Coast food and drink scene.
