Pako Festa always provides an incredible spread of foods from all corners of the world.

From the international kitchen we are pleased to present fresh and fabulous cuisine including Indian vegetarian samosa’s, Greek souvlaki, Spanish paella, Italian pasta, Malay Sate, and traditional Macedonian pastries. Many of our local cultural communities will again be in the street and parks cooking up the very best of their country’s dishes. There will be BBQ’s and bratwursts, stir frys and fritters, curry puffs and satays, sausages and spit roasts, paellas and pizzas and sweet treats served with nuts and honey. And that’s just the start.

If you haven’t tried some of these cuisines before – now is your chance to dine like you’re on a world trip. And for those with more conservative taste – you’ll find plenty of options from hot potatoes to salads, slices, pies and pastries.
