Australia's Top Restaurants presented by Qantas and Vittoria Coffee was launched in February, with the list of 500 finalists compiled by a panel of Good Food Guide editors, reviewers and industry figures.
The top 100 is dominated by Sydney and Melbourne, with only four Queensland restaurants making the list: Esquire at 36, Wasabi Restaurant & Bar at 53, Urbane at 71, and Gerard's Bistro at 74.
"It was great to see the results come in nation-wide" co-director Terry Durack said.
"A concentration in VIC and NSW was expected, but WA, SA and QLD figure strongly in the top 100."
The top chef was Martin Benn from Sepia in NSW and the people's award was taken out by Catalina, NSW.
