“Royal ICC guests have the choice of tasting award-winning produce on our menus including the 2015 winner of Australia’s best steak, the AACo Darling Downs Wagyu, the award-winning JBS Australia ‘Swift Premium Striploin’ from Western Queensland, the freshest local seafood and a selection of trophy winning wines and cheeses.”
