Welcome to the second edition of the SMH Good Pub Food Guide 2012! The app has also changed its format to suit your needs....

Building on the success of last year's inaugural Good Pub Food Guide we have been out and about again. 72 of the Herald's best reviewers fanned out across New South Wales, eating in pubs everywhere from Byron Bay to Eden, Bondi to Broken Hill, to bring you their independent and unbiased reports from the front line. And those reports have indicated that the pub business has lifted its food game to new heights.

The Sydney Morning Herald Good Pub Food Guide 2012 is a compact distillation of all reports sent back from the field. These are the pubs that we believe are serving some of the best food in the state - whether it be a gourmet pie or a simple schnitzel - and as usual we hope that this book will help you find somewhere worthwhile to eat that won't break the bank.

This year we have over 370 new reviews and have handed out over 106 awards. Our country pubs have scored highly this year.
