This week, OpenTable brought its inaugural Restaurant Awards to Melbourne — celebrating the venues shaping one of the world's great food cities, and unveiling the first-ever Icons lists for Melbourne and Sydney. These are the restaurants that don't just serve great food, but define how their city eats. Why does recognition like this matter? New research shows 63% of Australian diners are more likely to try a restaurant that holds an award or appears on a best-of list. That's not a small number — that's a reservation waiting to happen. Congratulations to every restaurant named across both cities. Explore the full Icons lists and this year's winners at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gvhMVXui
