Lane Cove Your Foodie Award Winners are…

ITC Foodie awards

Foodie Winners cover

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in In the Cove’s inaugural Foodie Awards.  We will be holding them again at the same time next year.  One thing that we learned from the Foodie Awards is that the name of a particular restaurant is not always known.  We had some hilarious descriptions (such as the place above the dress shop in the mall opposite Coles or Pottery Barn for Pottery Green).  Luckily the results were pretty clear so we did not have to rely on working out the exact name.

The Foodie Awards closed on 10 October 2015 (so some of Lane Cove’s new restaurants and cafes were not part of our survey).  We love walking down the plaza and seeing the bustling cafes.  The vibe in the Plaza has certainly changed over the last few weeks.

So drum roll please, the winners are….

foodie awards restaurantThe voting in this category was close.  The winner is Via Napoli Lane Cove.  The runners up were Dinner with the Cake Man and The Lodge.

food awards cafeThe winner is The Cake Man.  The two runners up were Story and The Lodge

 foodie awards bakeryThe winner is  The Cake Man.  The runners up were Bakers Delight Lane Cove, Pottery Green Bakers and One Seed Patisserie (it was a close call between the runners up).

foodie awards coffeeThe winner is Story.  However Pablo & Rusty’s Lane Cove were a close second.  Interestingly we asked you to nominate your favourite coffee shop in 2012 and the winner was Story (with Pablo & Rusty’s Lane Cove coming a close second).  You are consistent.

foodie awards dessertWe asked you for your favourite place for dessert, ice cream/gelato/frozen dessert etc.
The winner is Gelatissimo and the runner up was Meno Diciotto Gelateria

foodie awards fav dishWe had a great variety of answers to this question.  Mr ITC will be pleased. His favourite dish won.  The winner of your favourite dish was the Tandoori Lamb Backstrap Fillets with rice, chutney and mint sauce created by Charles at the Diddy.

Three dishes from The Lodge were runners up:  The Breakfast bruschetta, the Zucchini Fries and the Gnocchi were all very popular.
