A number of Melbourne venues have made the shortlist for the 2017 Eat Drink Design Awards, which are dedicated exclusively to the design of food and drink spaces in Australia and New Zealand.

“From coffee kiosks and 12-seat restaurants, to takeaway shops and food courts, this year’s Eat Drink Design Awards shortlist reveals the exceptional quality and variety of design in Australia and New Zealand’s hospitality scene,” says jury chairperson Cassie Hansen.

Melbourne venues in the Best Bar Design category include Guy Grossi’s Arlechin, the sultry new laneway bar with a sculptural cork ceiling designed by Six Degrees Architects); Collingwood’s Stomping Ground Brewing Co. (by Y Design); and The George on Collins (by Hecker Guthrie), which has also been nominated in the Best Restaurant Category.
