Koji Bird named Good Food Guide Finalist for 2027
We are thrilled to announce that Koji Bird by Reed & Co. Distillery has been named as a Finalist for Regional Restaurant of the Year (Vic) by the highly-regarded The Age Good Food Guide for 2027.
Out of roughly 80 regional restaurants reviewed by the Guide this year, we are so thrilled to have made the top 5, alongside some beautiful venues in Cape Schanck, Daylesford, and Torquay.
"An izakaya-distillery deep in the mountains (that's us!). A fine-dining revelation among dunes and scrub. A spiral staircase to Central Victorian heaven. If you dine for the thrill of the discovery as much as one spectacular bite, this year’s Age Good Food Guide Regional Restaurant of the Year finalists might send tingles down your spine."
Serving "flame-licked chicken with a Japanese tilt", the Guide describes Koji Bird as "an izakaya that defies definitions".
The winners of the 46th The Age Good Food Guide Awards will be announced on Monday, October 12.
Until then, we'll be here, doing what we love most - distilling, marinating, grilling, pouring, and serving!
So if you'd like to visit our little "izakaya-distillery deep in the mountains", stop by! Koji Bird is open for dinner from 5pm Wed-Sat. Bookings are recommended.
