Baba’s Place in Marrickville wins Good Food Guide Trailblazer Award

·

Baba’s Place in Marrickville, Sydney’s inner west, has won the ‘Bill Granger Trailblazer Award’ at the Sydney Morning Herald‘s Good Food Guide 2025 Awards.

The Trailblazer Award recognises an individual, team, or business that approaches things from a unique perspective, pushing Australian food forward in the process. The recipient should offer a distinct viewpoint and truly embody hospitality, with a strong focus on community above all else.

Baba’s Place proudly showcases the Lebanese, North Macedonian, and Greek heritages of co-owners Alex Kelly, Jean-Paul El Tom, and James Bellos in both the decor and the menu.

Baba’s Place was described as “a freewheeling celebration of the suburban Sydney experience grounded in the stories of immigrant families and their shared experiences of food and cooking.”
