Daniel Jarrett comments: “We are thrilled with this industry recognition of our efforts at The Tamarind and are proud to be a part of putting the Sunshine Coast on the culinary map. We work hard to create a dining experience that is the perfect meeting of the traditional and the new to inspire the palate and provide a true taste of Asia”.
