Canberra Good Food Month presented by Citi will safely return to Canberra this March, celebrating the very best of the capital city for the seventh sensational year. Tickets are on sale 9am AEST, Thursday 25 February at www.goodfoodmonth.com.
This year’s programme celebrates culinary collaborations between homegrown industry talent from different corners of the country as Alanna Sapwell and Analiese Gregory bring Sapwell’s Esmay to life at Bar Rochford; a talented line up of young chefs unite to put on a fine vegetarian spread at Ovolo Nishi’s Monster Kitchen & Bar; and Rockpool Bar & Grill’s Executive Chef, Corey Costelloe joins forces with the teams from Good Weekend and Good Food to bring The Good Weekend Quiz: Live to Canberra for the first time.
Venessa Cowell, Head of Nine Food Events said, “After an unprecedented year of constant change and upheaval, more than ever before, the importance of supporting the Canberra hospitality and dining industry is at the front and centre of our minds. Over the past seven years since Good Food Month started in Canberra, the industry has blossomed supported by avid Canberrans who value great food, service and dining experiences. This year, not just throughout the month of March, 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 Canberra, cafes and restaurants, special occasion or Friday night pizzeria / takeaway favourites. Let’s mindfully support the industry that we are so rightfully proud of, this month and every month of 2021.”

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.”
The Friends of Good Food Month event series showcases the very best in drink and dine across the ACT region, and comprises bespoke dining experiences as curated by the industry. The full programme of events will be announced Monday 1 March.
