The 2024 Eat Drink Design Awards were announced on 31 October in Melbourne, with the winning projects spanning a wide range of styles and types, from a tactile, otherworldly Brisbane restaurant to a delightfully playful gelato shop in Western Australia.
"This year's winning designers are to be commended for their high level of craftsmanship, bold choices and attention to detail," said the jury.
"The jury observed multiple venues where the designers transport guests to somewhere they've never been before, whether it is a slightly alien landscape or a new country. The jury delighted in the restaurants, bars and cafes that look far from the traditional and make a big impact," said the jury.
Winners and commendations of the 2024 Eat Drink Design Awards were announced along with this year's inductee into the Hall of Fame, an accolade that acknowledges enduring excellence in the design of a hospitality venue that is of more than ten years standing. Designed in the late 1970s, Berowra Waters Inn by Glenn Murcutt showcases his distinctive Australian vernacular style, with its corrugated tin roof, glass louvre windows and sandstone rubble set amongst the eucalypts.
