Sometimes, enjoying a good feed isn’t just about the food itself, it’s about the overall experience and who you enjoy it with. This month, Plateful Perth has brought us so many great food-focused events, experiences, and offers that we’ve really been spoilt for choice. 

As the festival comes to a close at the end of the month, here are eight experiences that you need to check out. So, grab your partner or fire up the group chat and use these experiences as the perfect excuse for a date night or mates catch-up.

Mary meets Makers. Boozy Donuts

This is not your ordinary treat — it’s a doughnut with a whiskey twist. Imagine biting into a classic brioche doughnut, only to be met with an orange-scented Maker’s Mark bourbon custard centre. To make it even better, the top is brûléed to perfection using Angostura bitters sugar, giving it a caramelised crunch that complements the creamy custard within. Indulgence just found a new benchmark and it comes in the form of the love child of Varnish on King and Mary Street Bakery.
