Red carpet, cocktails and colour from The SMH Good Food Guide 2025 Awards

The cream of NSW’s dining scene gathered at Sydney Opera House on October 23 for the glittering Good Food Guide Awards. Here’s a snapshot (or 50) from the big night.

Photographer Steven Siewert captured some of the hottest looks (and cooks) from the red carpet. Photographer Yusuke Oba captured the winners, grinners and some top canapes and drinks too, at the event. During the evening, winners and guests gathered outside the Secret Studio (more on that later) and let their hair down a little.
