Marrickville Munch – Sydney Food Tour

Activity details

Check out Sydney’s multicultural Inner West, on Dave’s Sydney Food Tour – The Marrickville Munch!

Our bite-seeing walking tour will take you through some of our neighbourhood’s most famous eats, plus a few surprises we wanna ‘keep under the cloche’!

What’s included

• Tastings at a minimum of 4 food stops and including at least one drink.
• A bottled water is provided, but we recommend bringing your own to be more environmentally friendly
• Eating like a local in REAL Sydney

What’s not included

• Additional tastings
• Takeaway Food
• Alternative Dietary options (we can try and offer substitutes, but its likely you would have to go without)
• Transfers (unless purchasing City Pick Up & Drop Off)

Itinerary

1. We’ll start at an iconic family-run deli for a coffee (or an iced cafe crema) and tasting of the house-made cheeses along with Australian olives and meats (kangaroo salami…yum!).
2. Next, it’s another Sydney icon our most famous Banh Mi (Vietnamese pork roll).
3. We’ll wash down that deliciousness with a beer from a local brewery. We think a sour matches best, but you may be a hop head and need an IPA or possibly you are in love with the darkness of a porter. No judgement, all beer is good beer.
4. Following the refreshment, we’ve got some Aussie classics from our mate’s bakery for you to ‘wrap your laughing gear around’ (that’s an old Aussie term for eating).
5. Once you’ve filled up on your Aussie ‘tucker’ (food) quota, we’ll drop by another small cheese producer for a snack before the sweet sweet finish!
6. The dessert finale to the Marrickville Munch is at our favourite ‘serial chillers’ headquarters. We may get to see what they are up to through the factory windows while we ‘get stuck into’ their house made gelato and crazy chocolate creations.

At the end of your food tour, we can roll you back to Sydenham station, or you can jump on the afternoon Marrickville Brewery Tour that starts shortly after and share some beers and spirits in Australia’s Craft Beer Capital!

Highlights

Marrickville has been named one of the coolest suburbs in the world and we agree, as its our home!

The neighbourhood is the centre of the independent beer scene in Sydney with multiple breweries and distilleries, live music venues, art spaces and of course food offerings often housed in former industrial warehousing. It’s kinda like our version of Brooklyn in New York.

All the great drink and food is underpinned by the area’s strong multicultural influence with plenty of nationalities, but predominantly Vietnamese, Portuguese and Greek immigrants settling here in the last 50 years or so.

This combination makes Marrickville vibrant, delicious and the perfect place for some bite-seeing!

We can’t wait to have you around at our place for some great food and drink.
