Our sustainably focused menu showcases our unique connection to Australian farmers.

For 147 years, the RNA has celebrated and championed agriculture through its Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) and its Royal Queensland Awards (RQA) food and beverage competitions. In fact, our Royal ICC is the only convention centre in Australia where guests can enjoy produce awarded gold, silver and bronze medals in the RQA.

Through this connection, our world-class chefs have formed close relationships with the competition entrants - Australia’s finest farmers and producers - learning the story behind each high-quality ingredient used.

We are delighted to present to you our new menu for 2024.

With so much award-winning produce grown right here in southeast Queensland, we have a strong focus on sourcing local food and beverages. We know every event is unique, so our chefs can also tailor menus to suit any event need or dietary requirement.
