DINING EXCELLENCE ACKNOWLEDGED BY INDUSTRY
The Annual Awards for Excellence for Restaurant & Catering SA was held last night at a glamourous event at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
More than 1000 guests ate, drank and danced the night away and celebrated the high quality restaurants, caterers and hospitality professionals that South Australia has to offer.
The Manse Restaurant was awarded the Restaurant Of the Year award, as well as the Best Fine Dining Restaurant award, having received the highest score overall. Sfera’s on the Park Suites and Convention Centre received the Best Caterer award as well as the Best Wedding Caterer Award.
The Individual Hall of Fame award was won by Dinh Quang Phan & Suong Thi Ho from Vietnam Restaurant for introducing Vietnamese food to Adelaide, and their family’s contribution to the multicultural cuisine of Adelaide.
The Hall of Fame inductees for the Cafe and Italian Restaurant categories were won by The Strand Café and Auge Ristorante respectively. These businesses have won their award for three consecutive years so are recognised with this prestigious honour.
The Restaurant & Catering Australia, Fine Wine Partners and Henschke Lifetime Achiever Prize was awarded to Primo Caon, from Chesser Cellars who has run many hospitality operations over more than 30 years.
