BEST RESTAURANT/FINE DINING EXPERIENCE OF THE YEAR - Bistro 46 in Brixham

The winner of this category will be the restaurant that – in the judges’ opinion – offers the best dining experience. It’s not just that it serves the most delicious and well-cooked food. Everything from the décor, the service, the food, the wine list and those little finishing touches that make dining such a pleasure, will be judged for this prestigious award.

BEST CHEF OF THE YEAR - Chris Adey from Bistro 46 in Brixham

The chef of the year is someone who has devoted themselves to the cause of serving the best possible food. Technical ability, use of seasonal ingredients, presentation of the food and understanding of how flavours work together, these are some of the things the chefs nominated will be judged on.
