Amidst the hubbub of last nights 2022 SA Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS Awards for Excellence, another batch of exciting culinary delight is heading our way.
Gourmet Traveller has unveiled the finalists for the Gourmet Traveller 2023 Restaurant Awards, in the September issue, now on sale.
The annual awards are a highlight of Australia’s culinary calendar, recognising the country’s best restaurants, chefs and hospitality leaders. The winners will be revealed at a glamorous gala dinner at Sydney’s Shell House on September 27.

It is our great pleasure to celebrate and single out those that are flying high and bringing joy to diners across the country.”
