When delicious cocktails alone simply aren’t good enough for you, it’s Eat Drink Design to the rescue. The annual awards ceremony honoured their 2013 victors last night, recognising beautiful architecture, design and branding across Australia and New Zealand’s restaurants, cafes, gourmet retail, pop-ups and bars. A congratulatory toast to the below establishments that may appeal to my fellow Melbourne barflys.
