Since voting opened in The OutInCanberra People’s Choice Awards, thousands of Canberrans have taken to the polls to support their favourite restaurant, café and nightlife venue. As a result, OutInCanberra has announced the TOP 5 venues from each category – as voted by you!

This year marks the addition of the Favourite Café category, alongside long running categories, Favourite Restaurant and Favourite Nightlife Venue.

Meet your Top 5 Cafes; Adore Tea, Café Essen, Cream Café Bar, Gus’ Café and Tilley’s Devine Café.

Running as part of the 2010 AHA Hospitality Awards, The OutInCanberra People’s Choice Award has been recognised as the first local award of its kind, giving Canberrans an exciting opportunity to have their say and make a positive impact on their favourite local hospitality venues.
