Queensland’s most awarded French restaurant Montrachet, will lead the charge and showcase the best of French gastronomy with a Duck and Pinot pop-up bar. Indulge in duck and cognac parfait, duck pithivier (duck and pinot ragout baked in puff pastry) as well as Montrachet’s famous brioche rolls with pulled confit duck leg.
Welcome to Bowen Hills and Rydges’ Six Acre Restaurant will also be offering pop-up bars paired with delicious nibbles such as beef sliders and crunchy parmigiano cheese and truffle oil fries. No matter what you’re craving, you can rest assured there will be something to tickle your tastebuds.
Alongside the enticing eats, the street will come alive when 7 of Brisbane’s best emerging artists perform live. Headlining the Food Fiesta is indie-pop artist Jem Cassar-Daley at 8 pm, following on from queer alt-rock band Platonic Sex at 7 pm, guitar-pop project Flamingo Blonde at 6 pm, sibling duo People Mover at 5 pm with an official smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country set to take place at 4.15 pm.
Popping-up on a secondary stage are soulful outlaw country singer Pete Cullen, indie-rock, singer-songwriter and solo traveller ELEEA, and country and blues artist Danny Widdicombe.
King St is also thrilled to introduce two brand new art installations just in time for the Food Fiesta from two world-renowned artists Jeremyville and Elliot Routledge. The first titled ‘Community Service Announcements’ by Jeremyville aims to explore concepts such as self empowerment, personal growth, human virtue, love, loss and what it means to be human through simple imagery and words.
The second titled ‘Past is Present’ by Routledge is inspired by the four pillars of the Brisbane Showgrounds in a unique, contemporary abstract style. Make sure a stop at both of these installations is on your fiesta itinerary as they are sure to be the most instagrammable moments!
Be sure to feed your soul and feel the flavours of the Valley at the King St Food Fiesta.
