Every year, the Herald’s Good Food Guide evolves to include more venues across various price points, cuisines, styles and suburbs, offering an annual snapshot of the dining spots you need to try.

Our 2025 anniversary marks 40 years of championing the New South Wales dining scene. Alongside 500+ in-depth reviews, we’ve decided to honour this incredible milestone with 40 iconic dishes from the past four decades, a retrospective of the flavours that define the region.

New this year, we’re thrilled to introduce the Bill Granger Trailblazer Award, honouring visionaries who embody hospitality, warmth, and innovation, and the Cultural Change Champion award, recognising positive cultural shifts within the industry.

Returning categories like the Cafe of the Year and Best Pubs accompany the most coveted awards in Australian dining: Chef of the Year, Restaurant of the Year, Best New Restaurant, and the prestigious hat awards, honouring excellence from one hat to the ultimate three.
