Glam Adelaide is reporting live from the Adelaide Convention Centre, and we’ll be updating this page as the awards are announced.
South Australia’s best restaurants are in the spotlight, with the inaugural MICHELIN Guide South Australia unveiling its first-ever selection of Australian dining destinations.
The announcement is a major milestone for the state’s food scene, with South Australia becoming the first Australian state to feature in the world-famous guide.
Chefs, restaurateurs and hospitality leaders have gathered at the Adelaide Convention Centre tonight, Wednesday 14 October, for the highly anticipated reveal, which recognises restaurants across the state for their food, creativity and consistency.
The guide’s distinctions include the coveted MICHELIN Stars, the Bib Gourmand recognition for quality food at good value, and MICHELIN Selected listings. Special awards also recognise talent across the industry, including chefs, service teams and sommeliers.
Tonight more than 70 restaurants have been selected for the first MICHELIN Guide South Australia.
We’ll also be posting the recipients on our Instagram Stories @glamadelaide

Restaurants are assessed by anonymous MICHELIN Guide inspectors against five criteria including ingredient quality, mastery of cooking techniques, harmony of flavours, the personality of the cuisine, and consistency.
The selection process is independent, with restaurants unable to pay to be included or receive a distinction.
For South Australia, the guide represents an opportunity to introduce the state’s restaurants, local produce and wine regions to a global audience. Industry leaders have also pointed to the potential benefits for regional tourism, accommodation providers, farmers, winemakers and other local businesses.
The announcement follows the MICHELIN Guide’s first move into Oceania with its inaugural New Zealand selection earlier this year. Restaurant booking platform First Table reported a sharp increase in interest in recognised restaurants following that announcement, suggesting the attention could extend beyond the venues directly included in the guide.
With the first Australian selection being revealed, South Australia’s restaurants will be looking to make the most of the international spotlight.
