SA Food Wins Big At 2016 National Restaurant & Catering Awards

They came, they conquered and we get to enjoy the spoils! South Australian restaurants and caterers have returned with a massive haul from the National Awards.

Oh man, did SA just cream the competition.

South Australian restaurants and caterers have racked up 18 National Awards, including 6 Gold Awards at the 2016 National Restaurant & Catering Association Awards on Monday 24 October.

What is most wonderful is that many winners are located in some of the most beautiful parts of SA like Mount Gambier, Strathalbyn and Gawler, as well as across the CBD. It goes to show in our state you can find good food anywhere, and the passion is shared by everyone. Perhaps the only problem is deciding where to eat. Chance are one of these winners is just around the corner!
