The Adelaide Hills Food ChainJune 2008WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS
Chocolate @ No5
Our cafe menu is quite similar to the theme of Max Brenner; Hot Chocolates, Iced Chocolates and Chocolate Milkshakes made with melted Belgian Chocolate, Chocolate Fondues, Belgian Sugar Waffles served with melted Belgian Chocolate, Strawberries and Icecream, and various other decadent chocolate desserts. One of our best sellers has been our exclusive N°5 Cakes made exclusively for Chocolate @ N°5. These individual cakes come in four different flavours; Chocolate, Chocolate and Orange, Chocolate and Hazelnut, and Chocolate and Raspberry. We also have a variety of homemade desserts and treats; Mum's Chocolate Tiramisu served with Raspberry Coulis, Grandma's Mocha Walnut Gateaux, Baklava, Chocolate Surprise Muffins, Cupcakes and Cookies. These homemade desserts and treats have been a hit as opposed to commercially made products. Our desserts do have more of a rustic feel.

In the NewsLocavore
The Sydney-based company organising the event wanted to use an eco-friendly business to complement the nature of the project. Locavore has designed a menu to suit the different stages of the day bearing in mind they will be in a marquee on top of a hill, which one would safely assume could be windy.

Adelaide Hills Tourism encourages you to nominate your business or your peers.
Meanwhile, the South Australian Tourism Awards are held annually and form part of the Australian Tourism Awards. Nationally, the Awards process aims to recognise and promote excellence in tourism. The range of categories has evolved to reflect the changes that have occurred within the industry. The Awards are a submission and site visit based competition for tourism businesses and industry suppliers. The Awards Presentation and Gala Dinner provides the opportunity to publicly recognise and showcase this state’s finest tourism operators.

Depending on the standard of entry, entrants may be acknowledged with a gold, silver or bronze medal. The winner (the entrant with the highest score) in each category will go on to contest the Australian Tourism Awards in Melbourne in February 2009.
There are 27 categories in this year’s awards, including tour/transport operators, wineries, tourism retailing, restaurants, events, outstanding individuals, B&Bs, luxury hotels and backpacker accommodation.
