Once again, Leederville’s best venues, chefs, winemakers, entertainers and creatives transform the suburb into a six-week celebration of food, wine, music and winter indulgence.

Presented by The Leederville Precinct (Servo, The Garden & The Leederville Hotel), NOM NOM 2026 runs from Thursday, July 2 to Sunday, August 9, serving up a program of long lunches, collaborative dinners, interactive workshops, boosy brunches, cocktail trails, nostalgic party nights and one-off culinary chaos.

Max Knezevich, General Manager of The Leederville Precinct, sees the festival as Perth’s answer to winter hibernation. “People don’t want to wait for summer anymore. They’re looking for experiences, atmosphere and social connection year-round, and NOM NOM has become this fun outlet for that.”

Elevated dining meets playful escapism over the program, from mozzarella-stretching workshops to South African braais, themed pub takeovers and wine-fuelled long lunches.

Highlights include Oyster Shucking with Jerry Fraser, Croatian Nights at Servo, the luxurious five-course Leeuwin Estate Luncheon and the new Dine & Dash experience, where you’ll progress through some of Leederville’s top venues like Powell’s, The Garden and Messina.

One-night-only events and weekly favourites make up the rest of the six week program, which isn’t just limited to food. Think live jazz, comedy, and exploring Leederville from venue to venue.

NOM NOM 2026 runs from Thursday, July 2 to Sunday, August 9 across multiple Leederville venues. Bookings and the full program are available online.
