APPLECROSS café Nic and Kolo won three awards, including the major prize, at last night’s Gold Plate Awards just 18 months after opening.

The licensed café, with an interior designed by Mata Design Studio, won the Premier’s Award for the highest percentage score overall and best fitting the judging criteria.

Nic and Kolo also won the Breakfast and Licensed Café Metro & Regional categories at the event where Cooper Chimney (Indian), Caversham House (Licensed Casual Dining), Modo Mio (Mediterranean) and Lo Zucchero (Family) received Prix D’ Honneur awards for eateries that have won four consecutive gold plates in a category.
