The Age Good Food Guide: Full list of hats

From one hat to three, the essential list of every hat-winning restaurant from the 46th edition of The Age Good Food Guide.‘Once-in-a-gen restaurant’ sweeps Good Food Guide awardsAll the award winnersHome of the hats Heard the expression, “It’s a hatted restaurant”? The chefs’ hat rating system was created by the Good Food Guide more than 40 years ago to give readers a sense of what to expect in terms of food, service and experience. It has been the cornerstone of Good Food’s rating system ever since. Each restaurant reviewed in the Guide is scored out of 20: 10 points for food, five for hospitality, three for setting and experience, and two for value. Restaurants scoring 15 or above are awarded one hat, those scoring 16 or 17 receive two hats, and those between 18 and 20 receive three hats. The main goal of our reviewers isn’t to tell you whether we like a restaurant. It’s to paint a picture of the experience so you can decide whether you might like it, and to explain how it sits within Australia’s dining landscape.
