The 2018 edition of the Good Food Guide Awards have officially been announced, celebrating a nation brimming with superb talent that’s clearly progressing and evolving at a rate on par with some of the culinary capitals of the worlds. That much is obvious from this list of winners, ranging from Restaurant of the Year (which unsurprisingly went to Ben Shewry’s Attica) to New Restaurant of the Year (going to beloved Sydney seafood-focused restaurant Saint Peter).
And with the awards come the anticipated list of which restaurant gained, lost or maintained a chef’s hat. As it stands, the new list of three-hatted restaurants include only six nation-wide: Attica (VIC), Brae (VIC), Minamishima (VIC), Quay (NSW), Sepia (NSW), and Urbane (QLD). A total of 270 restaurants are now included on the “hat list”, which ranges from a score of one to three.
