The votes have been counted, and the Gold is officially theirs. 🏆 

Every year, Entertainment Members discover incredible places to eat, drink, explore and experience across Australia and New Zealand. The Entertainment Gold Awards celebrate the venues that have made the biggest impression along the way. 

And what makes these awards particularly special? The winners are chosen by our Members. 

From memorable meals and family favourites to casual eats and unforgettable days out, these are the places Entertainment Members loved in 2026. 

So, whether you're searching for somewhere new for your next dinner, a relaxed family meal or an activity for the weekend, consider this your Gold-standard shortlist. 

What are the Entertainment Gold Awards? 

The Entertainment Gold Awards celebrate some of the standout dining venues and experiences available to Entertainment Members across Australia and New Zealand. 

Rather than being selected by a judging panel, the Gold Award winners are determined by Member votes, recognising the venues and experiences that stood out from the crowd. 

This year's awards span four categories: 

• Fine & Contemporary Dining  

• Café & Family Dining  

• Informal Dining & Takeaway  

• Attractions & Activities
