Expect to not just feast your eyes with art at this year’s MoCAF, but also eat like a king with the festival’s foodie dream stalls lineup.
MoCAF 2025 takes over Marquis Events Place this weekend, packing all three floors with walls and halls of paintings, installations, and sculptures from artists around the world. Who wouldn’t need refuelling after getting their steps in from exploring that?
From savory chows to sweet treats, visitors can have it all. Enjoy the galleries, admire the works, and eat up!
All over the world
You don’t have to travel to taste flavors around the world. Just head to XTN Bites!
Experience the essence of Europe and its diverse cuisines. With Casa Nostra Pizzeria, you’ll have a slice of Naples fresh out of the oven within 90 seconds. On the other hand, Butterboy takes you to Paris with their signature croissants–their bestselling pain au chocolat is a must-try for that sweet, flaky goodness!
Marquis, the official caterer of this year’s venue, is also offering a wide selection of Italian flavors. They tailor the menu to fit the events they cater, so make sure to check out their array of mains and sliders!
Zuki: Modern Poke and Sushi serves fresh seafood and takes on Japanese fusion that’s guaranteed to make you say “Poke-bowls, I choose you!” Right in front of them is Purefoods Deli serving a quick but filling snack as you get more steps while admiring the exhibitions
Go! Salads are also here at the festival to serve your farm fresh food. But if you want something real cheesy, meaty, or veggie, Nolita Joe’s New York Style Pizza got you. Just beside their booth is Hijo De! satisfying all your bold Mexican food cravings.
Bottoms up!
Get a slight buzz with booze as you roam around the galleries.
Taste the tropics with Sulà’s locally made liqueur, inspired by classic Filipino flavors. Near them is Hendrick’s Gin serving fruit-infused refreshing cocktails, and a French group, Remy Cointreau, looking to lift your spirits with their own.
Make room for dessert
Everyone’s got a little bit of a cookie monster in them, and The Kind Cookie is here to help you embrace that. Try their crowd favorites, Birthday Bomb and OG Chocolate Chip, and you’re in for a sweet treat!
Haven't you had your caffeine dose? Get it from this year’s official drink partner! Grab Odd Café’s limited edition MoCAF collab drink “Contrast No. 1” as you stroll around–a dark chocolate, nutty drink topped with vegan whipped cream.
Don’t worry if you’re not a coffee drinker–head outside and you’ll see your perfect match(a). Serving all things earthy and green, The Matcha Tokyo is here to give you your grassy drink fix.
Lastly, I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Make sure you’ve got room for dessert, because Vito Gelato calls all those with a sweet tooth. Their stracciatella and pistachio is a must-try!
MoCAF 2025 is all about inclusivity, and with this line-up of bites, the festival is more complete than ever.
