A new era for Australia’s food and drinks culture has arrived, with the launch today of the Good Food app, a comprehensive digital experience for eating in and eating out. As well as having 10,000 recipes from Australia’s top chefs and recipe creators, a daily feed of restaurant news and nutrition and healthy eating advice, for the first time, the annual bible for restaurant reviews and the home of the hats, the Good Food Guide , will be available in interactive digital form. “That means diners can search the more than 450 independent reviews from the 2025 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide edition on the go via a dynamic map and a location-based ‘nearby’ function.
This is particularly helpful if you’re in an unfamiliar location,” says Sarah Norris, head of Good Food. “It’s like having a Good Food Guide reviewer on speed dial. With money tighter than ever, having guidance on what’s worth your dollars in a sea of dining options, and being able to trust those recommendations, makes the Good Food app very handy.
” It’s an exciting evolution for the Good Food brand, says the Good Food app editor, Erina Starkey. “You can browse signature Guide collections, such as one hat, two hat and three hat recommendations, along with Critics’ Picks and lists of best cafes, bars and pubs. “You can also search reviews across price points, styles and suburbs, and filter for cuisine types and dietary requirements, taking the guesswork out of a perfect night out.
” The Good Food app is also useful for a night in. Take the guesswork out of meal planning with recipes by big-name chefs and cook including Adam Liaw, Nagi Maehashi (aka RecipeTin Eats), Karen Martini, Neil Perry and Julia Busuttil Nishimura. You can also level up your cooking game with Masterclasses and cooking tips.
“There is nothing on the market like the app,” says Norris. “Yes, there are cooking apps, and apps that help you discover where to eat, but none that combines the two. The food space is cluttered, but the Good Food app helps cut through the noise with its local expertise, reliability and daily cooking inspiration.
” The Good Food app i s available as a standalone subscription and as part of Nine’s Premium Digital packages for subscribers of The Sydney Morning Herald . Find details here. Premium Digital subscribers can download the Good Food app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store now.
