Camberwell catch-up

There has been plenty of activity taking place in Camberwell Junction in recent months and lots in store for the coming weeks.

Camberwell Culinary Awards

Following its popularity last year, the Camberwell Culinary Awards returns this winter and we want you to get involved.

If you consider yourself a foodie, know where to find the best meal or drink, and are always giving friends recommendations for brunch, now is your time to shine.

Our cafes, restaurants and food outlets will be nominated for an award category which includes ‘best coffee’, ‘best lunch’, ‘best boozy beverage’ and several more.

We then need you to vote for your favourite food or drink venue by entering the competition. All you have to do for a valid entry is purchase a meal or drink from the nominated business and upload a receipt as proof of your purchase.

The winning business will receive an award and you’ll go in the draw to win our major prize of $500 to spend in Camberwell Junction, or one of 10 minor prizes valued at $50 each.

It’s a great way to get involved in our local community while sharing your foodie recommendations!

Barrel & Roast is a converted warehouse and jazz bar; East End Wine Bar calls a century-old building home and offers a great selection of local wines; and Young’s Wine Rooms oozes style and elegance. Finish off the night at East of Everything, a casual, welcoming bar to wind down.
