Congratulations are in order for our wonderful Essendon team at Mr McCracken, taking home the award for Best Casual Dining (Metropolitan) at the 2019 Australian Hotels Associations (Victoria) State Wards for Excellence.

The awards were held on Tuesday November 19 at The Palladium at Crown for a gala dinner to celebrate the state’s best restaurants.

All finalists and winners were honoured at the ceremony which saw 1250 guests and professionals from across the hotel industry gather for the awards.

When Mr McCracken opened 2 years, our mission was to deliver a new level of hospitality to the Essendon and inner north of Melbourne, with a customer focused, high level of service.

So we are delighted to be awarded the Best Casual Dining Restaurant in the state.

We always strived to be the best Essendon restaurant, now we have been awarded the best casual restaurant in Victoria – we are ecstatic.

We welcome you to our Essendon Bar and Restaurant to try if for yourself as you are our most important judge.  

We thank all of our Essendon and inner North West local staff, friends, family and customers who have helped us achieve this best restaurant award for Mr McCracken, the new fox in the Fields!
