COASTAL FORAGING

COASTAL FORAGING WALK WITH CHEF ELIJAH ATTARD

WHEN: Saturday 21 MARCH 2026 | 10am

WHERE: Pavilion Beachfront, Maroubra Beach

Page Title

Embark on a unique coastal adventure with renowned restaurant chef Elijah, and discover the edible treasures of Sydney's coastline.
 

Join renowned plant-based chef Elijah Attard for an immersive coastal walking tour along South Maroubra, where food, nature, and curiosity meet. Learn how to identify and forage wild edible plants while deepening your appreciation for the rich and diverse flora that thrives along our coastline.

Known for his work at the two hatted restaurant, Yellow, and The Emerald Room, Elijah is one of Sydney’s most innovative chefs - celebrated for transforming wild, foraged ingredients into world-class dining experiences. Along the walk, he’ll share his passion for connecting people to place through food, with stories, cultivation tips, and practical ways to bring wild flavours into your own kitchen.

Of Earth’s estimated 400,000 plant species, nearly 300,000 are edible, yet we consume fewer than 200 globally. Elijah offers a glimpse into what’s possible when we reimagine what food can be - grounded in creativity, sustainability, and respect for the land.
 

The tour begins outside the Pavilion Beachfront at Maroubra Beach and concludes nearby. You’re welcome to join Elijah for a post-walk coffee or ocean dip (coffee not included).
