JSFWT 2025: What’s On
Events
July 9, 2025
Sunday is in Session
Sunday 27 July is the day we sit down to the epicurean extravaganza that is James St Food + Wine Trail (JSFWT). And whilst it’s this main course-worthy market that may be top of mind, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you skipped out on the sumptuous sides the street is serving up alongside it. Keep reading for the lowdown on the limited edition menu items, chef demonstrations, giveaways and delicious discounts on the boil this year.
Limited Edition Gelato Messina
If Ironman embodies the ingenious innovation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then Gelato Messina does just that for James St. These gelato geniuses have busy tinkering away in their kitchen workshop to mix up a new JSFWT exclusive. Chocoholics rejoice because this year’s brainchild is Robert Brownie JNR – a milk chocolate gelato with chocolate brownie and chocolate fudge. Sounds good right? Well, you’ll have to be quick this RDJ-inspired flavour will only be available in store at Gelato Messina from Saturday 26 July until sold out.
Sushi Room Tuna Filleting
No one hit wonder, master fishmonger and founder of the premium seafood supplier ZERO-ICHI, Mitsu Sakurai is back for round two of live tuna filleting. Feast your eyes and your taste buds as Sakurai sharpens his knives, slices the freshest whole tunas, and serves sashimi samples right before you. Catch these highly skilled demonstrations at the Sushi Room marquee in Doggett Lane at 10AM + 2PM.
