RACV executive general manager leisure Craig Peachey said the awards were a significant achievement for the team and put Cape Restaurant on the ‘must do’ list for those wanting an exceptional dining experience. “This award is wonderful recognition of the exceptional experience the team are delivering now that we’re able to operate Cape Restaurant,” Mr Peachey said.
The awards are the only program in Australia where the judging criteria is determined by consumers, who rank what is important to them in the dining experience. The awards are then determined by independent judges who anonymously visit the venues.
R&CA CEO Belinda Clarke said: “RACV’s Cape Schanck Resort should be immensely proud of this win. The past two years have been incredibly tough for the entire hospitality industry in Australia but success stories like this show how far hard work can take you. With the right mix of staff, products, produce and service, the results can be extraordinary.”
