#trEATS 2023
Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers
The regional food trail #trEATS (Toowoomba Region EATS) returns this September as part of the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, featuring an array of signature springtime dishes from cafes, restaurants and bars inspired by the city's most famous event, all priced at $10-$20.
Having made its debut in 2020, this year a record 52 local businesses will take part in #trEATS, covering the whole taste spectrum from sweet and savoury, to spicy and everything in between.
From Cobb’s Coffee Shop’s Iced VoVo dish of coconut panna cotta and homemade berry jelly with fresh cream and shortbread crumble, topped with toasted coconut and finished with macerated berries, to an Edible Garden from Jilly’s Café, Spring Soft Shell Tacos from Mouse Proof Brewing with raspberry and hibiscus gose and marinated chicken on corn tortillas, to a Butterfly Peaflower Gelato from Gelatissimo Toowoomba, Stellarossa’s Gordonia Flower Carnival Pizza, and The Store Room’s stunning selection of five sweet treat petit fours beautifully packaged and ready for a picnic in the park, the 2023 #trEATS lineup is a culinary knockout petals!
Muller Bros’ Springtime Strawberry Shortcake of house-made strawberry ice cream, on a rich buttery shortbread base served with strawberry jelly cubes and mixed berry coulis needs a mention, as does Urth Cafe & Co’s ‘Honey I'm home!’ dish – a medley of tomatoes and whipped fetta on sourdough with hints of chilli, garlic and thyme, topped with prosciutto, a poached egg, fresh watercress, lemon and honey drizzle.
“Flowers and flavour are one of the world’s great double acts and this year at Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers we have a record number of flavour makers taking part in #trEATs,” said Toowoomba Regional Council Environment and Community Committee Chair Cr James O’Shea. “We are famed for our incredible produce and flavours, and during the event where Toowoomba shines on the national stage, we can give locals and visitors alike a tasty food adventure for the whole month. Bon Appetit!”
