2023 best dining venues revealed
OneMusic were proud to be part of the Restaurant and Catering Association’s State Awards for Excellence which took place around the country between August and November.
The awards give restaurants, cafes and caterers well-deserved recognition for their hard work, exceptional food and outstanding service in this country’s vibrant industry.
Recognising operators in metropolitan and regional centres, the awards held in each state provide an opportunity for the restaurant and catering industry to come together, celebrate and network.
The awards represent the best of the best in Australian dining, and span over 50 categories. So many of our licensees were honoured as finalists and winners in each state! We’ve loved being able to attend each gala dinner and meet them.
So far, we’ve brought along a local musician to perform at each state awards – Helen Shanahan, Jess Reiss, Ryan Martin-John, Jess Fairlie, Bec Taylor, Andrea Kirwin and Danielle Lamb! They have also graciously agreed to speak to the audience at each event about their lived experience being a working songwriter/musician and how music licensing is crucial to their industry.
