MEDIA RELEASE 20 June 2011 IMMEDIATE RESTAURANT AMUSÉ IN EAST PERTH TAKES TOP ACCOLADE Restaurant Amusé in East Perth has been named the region s top place to dine in the 2011 Savour Australia TM Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS Awards for Excellence for the Western Australia Metropolitan region. The restaurant also won the Fine Dining category. More than 90 restaurants and caterers whose businesses are located in Perth and surrounds were recognised at a ceremony this evening (June 20) at the Burswood Grand Ballroom to acknowledge excellence in food and service. Joining Restaurant Amusé in the winners circle was Mustard Catering who was named Metro WA s Caterer of the Year. Both Restaurant Amusé and Mustard Catering will now compete with venues from across Australia in the National finals in Sydney on October 24 this year. Restaurant Amusé was the 2010 National Restaurant of the Year, and will once again vie for the title. Restaurant & Catering CEO John Hart commented that the Awards for Excellence represent an important moment as the industry pauses to honour these outstanding venues that have been reviewed on the whole dining experience rather than a single dimension. Western Australia is home to some of the country s tourism and dining treasures. The restaurants and caterers reflect the rich use of regional produce making WA unique in comparison to other regions. The Awards for Excellence were judged by a team of trained judges who anonymously visited the venues to determine the winners. Restaurant & Catering represents 600 restaurants and caterers in WA. Each year over 900 members Australia-wide are reviewed in the Awards for Excellence. Please see the Winners List attached for a complete list of category winners in the 2011 Savour Australia TM Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS WA Metropolitan Awards for Excellence.
