The awards, presented by Lexus, celebrate the very finest in Australian hospitality – from Best New Restaurant and Best New Talent through to Chef of the Year and much more. To see the full lineup of finalists, turn to page 69.

Last year, Rodney Dunn and The Agrarian Kitchen made history, becoming the first Tasmanian venue ever to be crowned Restaurant of the Year. Now, thanks to Tourism Tasmania, Dunn joins us as we welcome the country's leading chefs and restaurateurs to Hobart to celebrate the milestone awards.
