The Sydney Good Food Guide award winners have just been announced and I'm all excited because the 'eating season' is just about to start again. I think there were many deserving winners this year - The Bridge Room, Momofuku Seiobo amongst others. There were a couple of good and bad surprises though - I thought Sixpenny would have received more than 1 hat because of the hype around them when they first opened, Tomislav would certainly sit comfortably among the 2-hatters based on a recent visit and I personally think Honeycomb should get one hat since Cafe Sopra has one because the quality of Andy Bunn's food is much better than what Cafe Sopra now serves. Moreover, was the 1-hat based on reviews of all Cafe Sopra branches? I think Quay is absolutely worthy of being Restaurant of the Year and although I'm still bummed that Tetsuya hasn't got its 3rd hat back (yet), winning the Diner's Choice award confirms his place in Sydney's food scene. And his star is also shining brightly in Singapore's dining scene with the excellent work he's put in at Waku Ghin. More on that to come but first, this year's winners list in the city area.
