Adelaide Dining Magazine is set to unveil its list of finalists for the 2025 awards program.

Adelaide Dining Magazine (ADM) is set to unveil its list of finalists for the 2025 awards program. The event, taking place this Monday at Mount Lofty House, will celebrate the year’s achievements while also aiming to generate support during challenging economic times.

Shantal Hart, the Director of ADM, said, “These businesses and their respective teams work tirelessly to ensure their clients are treated to a premium experience. Good hospitality is about much more than food and drink. It brings people together and creates something memorable.”

“Our 2024 edition marked ADM’s tenth anniversary and the inaugural awards program, so this will be our second year hosting the awards. It was a great success, and we’re really looking forward to holding them again,” Hart said.

The awards have gathered considerable support from within the industry, including individual category sponsors and major sponsor Enzo’s at Home. This backing shows the community’s commitment to acknowledging excellence and dedication within its hospitality industry.

Hart encourages people to “book, eat, buy vouchers, support social media pages, leave google reviews, or do whatever they can to help the scene thrive.”

With the 2025 awards ceremony set for Monday, the event promises to celebrate the industry’s achievements and to inspire continued support and growth in South Australian hospitality. As preparations for the awards evening finalise, the community’s anticipation builds, setting the stage for what promises to be a memorable celebration of culinary excellence.
