Awards for Excellence
The winners of the 2012 Savour Australia™ Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS Awards for Excellence – Victoria have been announced!
Iconic Melbourne restaurant Jacques Reymond in Prahran and has been named Metropolitan Victoria’s top place to dine in the 2012 Savour Australia™ Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS Awards for Excellence – Victoria for the second year.
More than 170 restaurants and caterers whose businesses are located across the state of Victoria were recognised at the ceremony (August 13) at Atlantic [V], Melbourne to acknowledge excellence in food and service.
Joining Jacques Reymond in the two year’s running winners’ circle was Eleonore’s at Yering who were awarded the Restaurant of the Year – Regional trophy, and Atlantic Group [V] at Docklands who were named Victoria’s Caterer of the Year for the second consecutive year.
Jacques Reymond, Eleonore’s and Atlantic Group [V] will now compete with venues from across Australia in the National finals in Brisbane on October 29 this year, to be held at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Restaurant & Catering CEO John Hart commented that, “The Awards for Excellence represent an important moment as the industry pauses to honour these outstanding venues that were reviewed on the whole dining experience rather than a single dimension. Victoria is home to some of the country’s tourism and dining treasures, with Melbourne fondly referred to as Australia’s foodie capital. The restaurants and caterers in this state always reflect the rich use of regional produce making it quite unique in comparison to other states.”
Other major Award winners included Crown Melbourne who were awarded the George Mure Memorial Professional Development Award; Ambrosia Cafe – Bar- Foodstore, Berwick who won the Savour Australia Consumer Vote Award, and Gail Donovan of Donovans, ST KILDA was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achiever Award.
