The Sydney Royal Easter Show is back again for 2026, which means there is plenty of whimsical, quirky and delicious food for you to try this year.
When it comes to which viral snacks to try, we’ve got you covered.
Once again, the Easter Show has unveiled its 2025 Winning Bite foodie trail, with all of the items carefully selected by a panel of judges.
This year, the MasterChef guest judge Victor Yeow Lim joined Tokyo Lamington’s Eddie Stewart, MasterChef Australia star Depinder Chhibber and content creator Tom Smallwood to select the top 10.
“These dishes are completely new creations designed especially for the Show,” Mr Lim said.
“You’ll find bold flavours, nostalgic twists and dishes that are as fun to look at as they are to eat. It’s the kind of food that makes the Show such a unique experience.”
The Winning Bites trail is a great way to track down dishes they won’t find anywhere else.
“The Sydney Royal Easter Show has always been known for its iconic treats, but every year our vendors bring new ideas and new flavours,” Mr McGrath added.
