Bangalay Dining’s Executive Chef, Evans, says, “Being reviewed in the Good Food Guide and being recognised and awarded with a highly covetable ‘Hat’ has been the pinnacle for chefs in Australia for 30+ years and it is always an absolute honour to be recognised.
“When I started working at Bangalay my goal was to put us on the map as a regional dining restaurant, and to offer a superlative dining experience on the South Coast that will encourage guests to return for more. Awards like this are fantastic in showing us that we’re on the right track in reaching our goals and I’m so proud of this recognition– it’s a huge team effort – and an Award we in no way take for granted”.
Adds Bishop. “Bangalay Dining sets us apart in so many ways. We are an award-winning restaurant with accessible-luxury accommodation. We think this point of difference offers our guests an elevated, “destination-dining” experience that is reflected in the architecture, location, staff and the amazing local produce we have on offer. We’re incredibly pleased that the Good Food Guide is celebrating the superb dining available in our regions, particularly on the NSW South Coast.”

Just two hours from Sydney there is so much to see and do on the South Coast … and clearly “good food” too!! A huge congratulations to all the other finalists and award recipients, particularly the other South Coast ‘Hat’ recipients Babyface Kitchen, SOUTH on albany, The Milton Hotel, Queen Chow Narooma and Valentina (Merimbula).”
