November 11th 2024.
Last night, an exciting awards ceremony took place at the iconic Sydney Opera House to celebrate the launch of the 40th edition of the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide. This annual guide has become a highly anticipated event for food lovers, and this year was no exception. After visiting a staggering 500 restaurants across New South Wales and the ACT in the past eight months, the Good Food Guide's team has crowned a new winner – St Peter in Paddington, Sydney.
This groundbreaking seafood restaurant has taken the top spot, beating out tough competition with its unique and diverse menu. From a mouth-watering tuna cheeseburger to exotic dishes like long-spined sea urchins and oyster snacks at the bar, St Peter has truly impressed the Good Food Guide's critics. It's no surprise that they have been named the Vittoria Coffee Restaurant of the Year.
But St Peter wasn't the only winner of the night. Paul Farag from Aalia in the Sydney CBD was awarded the prestigious Oceania Cruises Chef of the Year for his innovative approach to Middle Eastern cuisine. And Firepop in Sydney's Enmore was named best new restaurant, while Ona Coffee in Marrickville took home the title of cafe of the year. The Sydney CBD's Double Deuce Lounge also made a mark, winning best bar.
In another exciting development, the Good Food Guide has made its debut in the digital world with the launch of their new app. Available as part of Nine's premium digital packages or as a standalone subscription, the app offers a premium experience for food enthusiasts. It includes over 900 reviews from the Herald and Age guides, as well as recipes, critics' picks, and lists of the best restaurants, cafes, bars, and pubs.
According to Sarah Norris, Head of Food for the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times, and WAToday, the Good Food Guide continues to evolve and showcase a range of dining options, catering to various tastes and budgets. With the current economic climate, diners want to know where to spend their money wisely, and the Good Food app takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect spot for any occasion.
For those who prefer the traditional printed edition, the Good Food Guide 2025 is available for purchase from various outlets, including newsagents, supermarkets, and thestore.com.au. With a price of $14.95, it's a small investment for a wealth of dining recommendations and expert advice. And for those who want to stay updated on all the latest in breaking news, sport, politics, and weather, the 9News app is also available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Happy dining!
