Spicers Retreats have further cemented their food credentials in Australia this month, following the award of four Chef Hats at the inaugural national Good Food Guide Awards.
Following previous success in the Queensland Brisbane Times Good Food Guide Awards, the move to an Australia-wide judging process for the Guide, meant the brand competed with over 500 restaurants across the country, making award hats more competitive than ever before.
The Long Apron, Homage, The Tamarind and The Peak were each awarded one Hat on the night, following an impressive year of food service and creativity within the Group.
At the helm of the Spicers Retreats restaurant drive is Group Executive Chef, Cameron Matthews, who said he was thrilled to see the brands culinary offering recognised at the esteemed awards, particularly on a national level.
“As a Group, we are passionate about providing guests at our retreats a gastronomic experience that is unique to the location they are visiting, but is still delivered at the high level they have come to expect from Spicers Retreats,” he said.
“We strive to offer guests at our restaurants meals that are inspired by stunning natural surrounds, as well as the best local produce sourced by our chefs on a daily basis.
The gastronomic experiences at each property are crafted through creativity and collaboration between our chefs, sommeliers, producers and suppliers.”
The Good Food Guide continues to bring readers the expert local knowledge it always has – reviews of restaurants, cafes, bars – along with greatly expanded interstate coverage, making the Guide the trusted source of information about where to find the best – and hatted – venues in every capital and beyond.
