Winners
Restaurant and Catering Association awards for Excellence, Café Dining and Patisserie
We are extremely excited and proud to win the Café Dining and Patisserie Category at the recent 2022 Restaurant and Catering Association awards for Excellence across the states of Tasmania and Victoria. The staff response to this has been extremely gratifying and a further confirmation of what great people we have within our team.
“The finalists in the category were filled with quality establishments and experienced venue owners pushing forward every day to fuel a dream that they have, and we are so very proud of our staff to have taken home the win. These validations have very special meaning.”
More than 130 local restaurants, cafes and catering businesses gathered to celebrate the achievements of their peers who were judged in over 45 categories, with the winners announced at the Awards for Excellence ceremony held in July at Zinc, at Federation Square.
The Awards for Excellence is a nationally recognised, independently judged awards program that celebrates exceptional service and culinary talent across the state. The Awards for Excellence is the only program in Australia where the judging criteria is determined by consumers who rank what is important to them in the dining experience.
The Awards are judged by an independent team of trained judges who anonymously visit the venues to determine the restaurant/café winners. The scores are based on the entire dining experience, from food to the customer service experienced when the judges anonymously dine.
Caterers are assessed on all aspects of their catering business, including operations, food, service, staffing and event/site outcomes to determine the catering category winners.
Restaurant and Catering Association CEO Belinda Clarke says, “Relish Cafe should be immensely proud of this win. The past two years have been incredibly tough for the entire hospitality industry in Australia, but success stories like this show how far hard work can take you. With the right mix of staff, products, produce and service, the results can be extraordinary.”
Restaurant and Catering Association is the industry association representing tens of thousands of restaurant and catering businesses across Australia.
