Details for The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards 2017 revealed

The Worlds 50 Best Restaurants move to Australia coincides with the country’s ongoing drive to highlight its food and wine credentials to the world. Since the start of Tourism Australias Restaurant Australia campaign in December 2013, international incremental spending on food and wine has increased by more than $1 billion with one in five dollars spent by international visitors in Australia now going towards food and wine experiences. The awards will form part of a weeks-long program to showcase Australia’s food and wine culture with the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival aligning its dates to coincide with the event.

Key Takeaways:

• Now we could not be more thrilled to be moving to Melbourne, one of the great food cities of the world, in 2017.
• The World’s 50 Best Restaurants’ move to Australia coincides with the country’s ongoing drive to highlight its food and wine credentials to the world.
• Come April next year, Australia will undoubtedly be the place to be for those passionate about great food and inspired restaurants.

“The event, in partnership with Tourism Australia, will be held in the city’s Royal Exhibition Building where world-leading chefs, restaurateurs, sommeliers and media will gather to celebrate the world’s top restaurants. It will be the second time in its 15 year history that the awards ceremony will be held outside London, with Melbourne hoping to replicate the success of this year’s event in New York.”
