Bacchus welcomes more accolades to an ever-growing mantlepiece
Bacchus continues to add to its already impressive repertoire of awards with the Brisbane restaurant achieving a 3-Glass Rating (Very Highly Recommended) in the 2015 Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards presented by Gourmet Traveller Wine and maintained its star rating and inclusion in the Top 10 Best Restaurants in Brisbane, also in the Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Awards.
These follow on the heels of their recent 2-Glass rating from the Wine Spectator Awards for Excellence. The GT Wine List of the Year Awards shine the spotlight on those venues with outstanding wine lists that possess creativity, and originality, providing a world class wine list that not only compliments the venue but also raises industry standards.
Bacchus is also a finalist in the AHA Awards for Excellence for Best Bar Presentation and Service, the announcement of which will be held on the Gold Coast next month.
Head Chef at Bacchus is Mark Penna, and Sommelier, Andrew Giblin.
From staking a claim firmly on the national awards, Bacchus also shines locally, having just received the Golden Fork Award for Best Waitperson, won by Theodora Ilic. The first annual Golden Fork Awards, presented by Gourmand & Gourmet was designed to recognise the best bars, restaurants, wait staff, and food and drink offerings in Brisbane.
These recent titles join an already overflowing list for Bacchus, with the restaurant having been bestowed several internationally recognised accolades over the past few years, including:
