From street-food stalls to splash-out spots, The Age’s top critics have once more tasted their way through Victoria's dynamic dining scene to uncover this year’s best bites. The 2025 edition of The Good Food Guide has evolved to include even more venues across various price points, cuisines, styles and suburbs, offering an annual snapshot of the dining spots you need to know about.

Returning favourites like the Cafe of the Year and Best Pubs sections sit alongside our pinnacle awards: Chef of the Year, Restaurant of the Year, Best New Restaurant, and Regional Restaurant of the Year. And of course, the coveted chef’s hat awards, recognizing excellence across the culinary spectrum.

We’re also proud to introduce new Good Food Guide Awards this year, including the Katie McCormack Young Service Talent Award, celebrating Victoria’s rising stars, and the Cultural Change Champion, honouring those championing positive and inclusive work environments.
