WelcomeIt’s become a cultural catchphrase, but here at Merivale we’ve always believed in treating yourself.
Enter March into Merivale: our annual five-week food and wine festival.
Now in its eighth year, the event is surely the most anticipated on Sydney’s culinary calendar. Our 60+ restaurants and bars are once again ready to showcase the food and chefs who make us proud.
Please consider this year’s event your official excuse to go for it – to yield to your guiltiest pleasures… and then some.
With our first-class food, desserts of the highest sin, kick off with our launch party on 10 February. Don’t stop ’til you’ve had enough, and even then, push on for a little bit more.
Enjoy the best of Merivale from Mr. Wong, The Paddington, Felix, Ms.G’s, sushi e, Coogee Pavilion, Papi Chulo and much more. Also preview newcomers Queen Chow, Fred's and The Newport.
From nights dripping in chocolate, to beachside carnivals, shameless dance parties and once-in-a-lifetime dinners, we promise March into Merivale will leave you feeling decadent and satiated.
