That means relevant/progressive categories judged with robust integrity by an expert panel in an attempt to better reflect the true range and diversity of the international restaurant scene”.

Fifty women and 50 men – food journalists, influencers and culinary professionals from 37 different countries – comprised the judging panel, Margot Janse, former chef of The Tasting Room, Le Quartier Francais in Franschhoek represented South Africa. Out of 18 categories awarded, 10 countries across four continents were involved. Read more here.
