Good Food is the most trusted, independent food brand in Australia: essential reading in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, and at goodfood.com.au. It’s also Australia’s Home of the Hats: awarded to the country’s best restaurants for more than 40 years in the Good Food Guide and at the national Good Food Guide Awards. Good Food’s editorial team is second to none for its depth of expertise, and the brand is highly respected by both its readers and the country’s best chefs for its quality content, stunning photography, trusted recipes, insider knowledge and independent reviews.

This October the Good Food Guide is back with its highly-respected hatted reviews of the best and most innovative restaurants in NSW and Victoria.

More than 600 restaurants will be reviewed by nearly 60 restaurant critics to compile a Good Food Guide that is without equal in Australia. There is no other restaurant guide in this country that operates independently and offers reviews according to a rigorous scoring system. Venues are reviewed anonymously and meals are always paid in full.

The Good Food Guide will award one, two and three hats to deserving restaurants, building on a heritage of more than 40 years of judging the best in fine dining. There is also a new critic’s choice heart symbol for the restaurants and eateries that we love – they may not be awarded a hat, but they are integral to each city’s dining culture and worth crossing town to experience.

The Good Food Guide will be published in NSW and Victoria. The release of the Guides, as well as announcement of the Good Food Guide Awards, will be heavily promoted across all platforms.
