Local food heroes celebrated at Canterbury hospo awards

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Whether you're into fine dining, fast food, beer and wine or eating sustainably, Christchurch has the place for you.

The city’s reputation as a hospitality hub is steadily growing as new food spots crop up while established spots continue to prosper.

The latest batch of outstanding hospitality venues were recognised at the Canterbury Hospitality Awards on Monday evening.

Popular wine bar Cellar Door was named supreme establishment of the year; barbecue joint Smokey T's claimed the people’s choice award; Child Sister won the outstanding café award and OGB won best bar for the fourth year running.

The Vagabond Chefs won the community award for their efforts following the Covid-19 alert level 4 lockdown. They contributed regular donations of resources and food to Christchurch City Mission and KidsCan to help those most in need.

In the individual categories, Inati eatery chef Simon Levy took out outstanding chef of the year, Charles Guillotine Gillet of The Last Word claimed bartender of the year, whilst barista of the year went to Fumihiko Takai of Espresso Studio by Fushoken, in Riverside Market.
