Catering That Becomes Part of Your Story
RealWeddings Guide
Food & Desire is a Melbourne-based event hospitality and catering company operating across three distinctive venues — Carousel, overlooking Albert Park Lake with city skyline views; Half Acre, a historic South Melbourne mill venue offering warmth and character, which also functions as a working restaurant; and Sunnyside, set on the Mornington Peninsula in a vineyard bay setting.
Beyond these owned venues, Food & Desire also provides full catering services at client-chosen external locations, spanning weddings, corporate functions, private parties and major events. The company's culinary approach favours modern, produce-led Australian dishes — its own showcased menu items include barramundi with soubise and pickled onion, and rhubarb pavlova with ginger snap custard — described in the company's own words as "food that's honest (and delicious)."
