·

JAAKS Restaurant and Bar (Jaaks) and The Kyle Bay on Georges River (The Kyle Bay) have received two prestigious awards at the recent 2024 National Restaurant & Catering Awards for Excellence.

Jaaks was awarded the Gold Medal as the National winner for ‘Best Greek Restaurant’ category for the second year in a row and The Kyle Bay was awarded the Bronze Medal in the ‘Event / Convention Centre Caterer’ category.

Business owners and siblings, George Christodoulou and Diana Valsamis, said, “We are both honoured and humbled by this recognition. It is a testament to our dedicated and hard-working team.”

With over 45 years industry experience, they insist on each aspect and every detail being carefully considered ensuring each guests’ experience is perfect.

The name JAAKS is an acronym for each of their respective children: Jordan – Alannah – Anya – Kosta – Sienna.

Executive Chef, Jason McCauley said, “It is great recognition for our continuous strive for excellence. At Jaaks we have created an ambitious degustation menu elevating Greek cuisine to a fine dining level.”

“Each dish is meticulously presented to showcase a superior level of Greek gastronomy. The same philosophy extends to The Kyle Bay events; all dishes are of the same high standard and the picturesque waterfront is a perfect backdrop for all occasions especially weddings,” McCauley added.
