Given the challenges restaurateurs have endured over the past few years, it was sweet relief last month to be able to celebrate the Mornington Peninsula winners at The Age’s Good Food Guide Awards.
An impressive 12 Peninsula restaurants were awarded hats as the awards returned in style after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic. Tedesca Osteria in Red Hill and Ten Minutes by Tractor in Main Ridge were both awarded two hats. Our other hat-winners were Audrey’s, The Continental Sorrento; Cape, Cape Schanck; Doot Doot Doot, Merricks North; Many Little, Red Hill South; Moke, Flinders; Paringa Estate, Red Hill South; Polperro, Red Hill; Port Phillip Estate, Red Hill South; Rare Hare, Merricks North; and The Restaurant at Montalto, Red Hill South.
Ten Minutes by Tractor also took out the Oceania Cruises Wine List of the Year, and 28-year-old Nicholas Deligiannis from Audrey’s was named Young Chef of the Year.
Social media was abuzz with news of the awards and congratulations being shared. @graceburn_tedesca posted it was “wonderful to feel the collegiate spirit of the industry . . . knowing that we are part of a wonderful profession that doesn’t have competitors so much as kindred spirits all pursuing individual visions of hospitality with each other’s success celebrated by all”.
The Good Food Guide includes more than 300 independent city and regional reviews, and we are fortunate to have so many talented hospitality professionals in our region. Congratulations to all from Mornington Peninsula Magazine.
