10 Reasons Why I love the Gourmet Traveller 2018 Restaurant Guide

10 Reasons Why I love the Gourmet Traveller 2018 Restaurant Guide
Spread the love

It’s only here for a month so please don’t miss out on the new Gourmet Traveller 2018 Australian Restaurant Guide!

I use restaurant guides all the time. The Gourmet Traveller and Good Food Guides are my ‘go to’.

But I love the Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide.

Why??

 

Reason No. 1 It’s free!!

Yes, really! It comes free with the September issue of the Gourmet Traveller magazine. That’s why it’s only around for a month and believe me, after that it’s impossible to get hold of, I tried!

Reason No.2 It’s just down the street!

Wherever you buy your magazines, you can get the Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide. It comes wrapped together with the magazine this month.

Reason No.3 It’s light!

As much as I love the Good Food Guide, it’s so heavy to carry around. The Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide is a fraction on the weight and much easier to throw in a bag.

Which brings me to…

Reason No.4 It gets straight to the point!

I don’t have time to read through pages!! I love the ‘at a glance’ important information.

Reason No. 5 It’s easy to find what you need!

Well organised by Aussie State, there’s also a comprehensive index at the back.

Reason No.6 It’s light on ads!

The ads don’t get in the way of my search, nor am I carrying around unnecessary extra pages.

Reason No.7 It covers the whole country!

No need for multiple books. It’s all in the one place. From Darwin to Tassie to Perth. It’s all here.

Reason No. 8 It tells me the Best of the Best!

From the Top 100, through the Top 10 by Region and The Stars to the Best Bars, Best Cafes, Best Cheap Eats, Best Business Lunches and Best Wine-country Eats.

I love that!

Reason No. 9 Canberra is first!

Poor small Canberra often comes last in any guide book, but the The Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide gets to Canberra straight away!!

Reason No.10 It has good taste!

We don’t agree on everything, but overall, we have similar taste in restaurants!

For the full list of my 200+ Canberra Reviews do visit the Ultimate Guide to Canberra Dining.
