For almost 50 years, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald have been at the forefront of food journalism in Australia. Today, Good Food is a go-to destination for engaging expert information about restaurants, bars, cafes, home entertaining, and food and drink trends. Its digital and print products unlock a world of exceptional dining and cooking by giving readers access to Australia’s leading chefs, journalists, reviewers, recipe creators and columnists.
Good Food’s flagship product, the Good Food Guide , is Australia’s most respected restaurant reviewing system. For more than 40 years, anonymous, independent critics have reviewed restaurants around the country, bestowing the best venues with one, two or three chefs’ hats, and making the term “hatted restaurant” a byword for quality. Along the way, the guide has become the nation’s most trusted source of information about where to eat, be it a hole-in-the-wall cafe, a suburban gem, an upmarket restaurant, or an iconic spot that has shaped Australia’s food scene.
To read more about the guide, from if restaurants can pay to be included (no), to how the hat scoring works, here’s everything you need to know about the annual dining bible here . The launch of the Good Food app in November 2024 ushers in a new era for Australia’s food and drinks scene by delivering a comprehensive, interactive digital experience for both eating in and eating out. With more than 900 reviews (and counting) from the latest Good Foo.
