Spices 29 restaurant at Woy Woy has capped off a successful year by taking a silver medal in the Indian Restaurant category at the 2024 Restaurant & Catering Hostplus National Awards for Excellence.
The win, announced on November 11 at a gala dinner held in Melbourne, follows the restaurant’s win of the same category at the Sydney and Regional Hostplus awards in September and a win at the Central Coast Business Awards earlier this year.
It is the second year Spices 29 has excelled at the Hostplus awards, being the state winner last year and attaining the bronze award at the national level.
Restaurant & Catering CEO Suresh Manickam said the National Awards for Excellence program recognised hospitality dining and service excellence across a broad range of categories.
They are the grand finale and the culmination of awards for excellence events in each state and territory.
“We are pleased to celebrate the achievements of Australia’s most distinguished operators,” he said.
“To achieve gold, silver or bronze at the National Awards is a testament to the hard work and culinary excellence our winners have to offer the dining public.
“We are continually inspired by the passion, creativity and unwavering dedication displayed by all those who contribute to the restaurant and catering industry.
“From chefs and restaurateurs to all staff and suppliers, they all play a vital role in shaping the gastronomic identity of dining in Australia and enriching the lives of their patrons.”
The Restaurant and Catering Excellence Award is given annually to restaurants that demonstrate excellence in a variety of categories, including food, service, sustainability, and community involvement.
