Feast Your Way Through the CBD This August

Food lovers, rejoice — Plateful Perth is back for 2025! Running for the entire month of August, this city-wide culinary celebration brings together the best of Perth’s food and drink scene, turning the CBD, Northbridge and East Perth into a flavour-packed playground.

Whether you're keen to explore hidden bars, indulge in long lunches, or take part in special one-off events, there's something on the menu for everyone.

What Is Plateful Perth?
Plateful Perth is a City of Perth initiative designed to support local hospitality businesses and bring life and energy into the heart of the city during the quieter winter months. Across August, more than 70 venues will offer unique dishes, curated experiences, and great-value specials — from lavish degustation dinners to creative cocktails, and everything in between.

What to Expect
This year’s program includes more than 100 events, dishes and drink specials across participating venues. You’ll find themed menus, food and drink pairings, and exclusive pop-up experiences — some ticketed, many walk-in friendly.

Not-to-miss highlights include the “Let’s Do Lunch” series, which offers gourmet midday meals at wallet-friendly prices, and “Date Night Deals” for something a little more special. Whether you’re into wine flights, whisky tastings or coffee pairings, you’ll find your perfect match.

Why It’s Worth Exploring
Plateful Perth is a great excuse to try somewhere new or revisit an old favourite. It’s also an opportunity to support local businesses and rediscover the vibrancy of the city. The initiative runs alongside a series of live music events, performances and activations, making it more than just a food festival — it’s a full cultural experience.
