Eight Christchurch or Canterbury restaurants will feature in Cuisine magazine’s annual Cuisine Good Food Guide this year, having made the list of the top 108 places to eat and drink across the country.
Of the top 108, restaurants that have achieved the coveted ‘hats’ and the category winners will be announced during the Cuisine Good Food Awards on November 25 at cuisine.co.nz. The awards and their resultant Cuisine Good Food Guide acknowledge the very best restaurants and chefs nationwide.
This year Cuisine is refreshing its traditional awards, with the list of the top 108 to be split into hatted restaurants and an additional list of ‘ones to watch’ – restaurants that demonstrate a high standard and are definitely worth a visit.
Cuisine will also this year recognise the highest-achieving restaurants in 13 categories, including the highly coveted Restaurant of the Year and Chef of the Year awards, through a new digital awards format. Traditionally celebrated at an evening event, the awards will take place via online streaming at cuisine.co.nz on Monday, November 25.
Cuisine selects over 40 experts from around the country to determine the top list via anonymous judging throughout the year.
Now in their 15th year, the Cuisine Good Food Awards are the only nationwide restaurant awards programme of their kind, and are viewed globally as the authority on the dining scene in New Zealand.
