The Age Good Food Guide Awards 2026

It was a night of celebrations for Alex Casey, Damien Neylon and Angie Prajogo who represented Brae at this year’s 2026 The Age Good Food Guide Awards, held in Port Melbourne on Monday October 27.

Our congratulations go to Restaurant Manager, Alex Casey, who brought home the Service Excellence Award.

"Alex Casey's ease while providing synchronised, extremely intentional table service permeates the whole dining experience at Brae. His genuine care for the guest and their enjoyment provides more than hospitality - at his best he offers something verging on magic. " The Age Good Food

Chef de Partie, Angie Prajogo, was also recognised as one of five Young Chef of the Year finalists.

"This crop of young chefs is nothing short of extraordinary; an inspired cohort of trailblazers who know exactly why they do what they do, and who do it to a rare standard." The Age Good Food

Brae was once again awarded the highest classification of three hats at this year's awards.
