MAIN CATEGORY WINNERS

Proving to be loved by all, we weren’t entirely surprised AKIBA took home the award for favourite restaurant. An iconic Canberra venue, locals just can’t get enough of their delicious Southeast Asian dishes!

Stealing the trophy for favourite café, Eighty/Twenty Food’s healthy, but always delicious menu is the way to many local’s hearts. You won’t find any of their cafés across the capital empty on the weekend.

No one knows how to master party vibes quite like Hopscotch, and of course, it’s landed them on top for favourite nightlife once again.

A venue loved by the whole family, no matter how old, the National Zoo & Aquarium has taken home the award for favourite entertainment.

A fascinating venue that keeps people coming back, the Royal Australian Mint took home the award for favourite attraction for the second year in a row.

And finally, Braddon Flowers has been named favourite local product with their uniquely beautiful bouquets and bunches.

 

And of course, a big congrats to our subcategory award winners.
