JLT Restaurant Awards 2018: Thank you! It’s a wrap!

The gala ceremony for the second JLT Restaurant Awards took place on 26th November at Nara Pan-Asian Restaurant in JLT

The second JLT Restaurant Awards are over! The second edition of Dubai’s first ever hyper-local F&B awards attracted 89 nominations across 18 categories and recorded almost 10,000 online votes for the 16 publicly voted categories. The winners and runners-up were announced by the MC, blogger (A to Za’atar), and Zomato Ambassador Courtney Brandt, during a glittering gala, which was attended by 100 local restaurateurs, F&B professionals, and foodies. 

You can find more details, images, and videos, of the awards ceremony here.

 We would like to thank all participating restaurants, partners, and sponsors, who helped us to make this event successful. Although, there were only one winner and one runner-up for each of the 18 categories, everyone who took part in the awards is a winner! Together, we put JLT’s burgeoning food scene on the map, created awareness, and – most importantly – forged connections and friendships between local restaurateurs, hospitality professionals, and foodies.

 We hope to see you all again for the 2019 JLT Restaurant Awards!
