When times get tough, the tough get going. And that is indeed true of Singapore’s restaurant scene. Despite mounting challenges from overheads to labour costs, the top restaurants in our culinary landscape have managed to continually raise the bar.
We would know. The G Restaurant Awards is in its eighth iteration, and our panel of experienced food writers and editors have over the years dined at countless establishments, with tabs kept on the rising service and food standards. Leveraging an external jury comprising country ambassadors, well-travelled business leaders and wine experts, the GRA committee dined incognito to determine objectively the quality of each nominated restaurant.
This year, we have 52 Awards of Excellence winners – our longest list to date. On top of the usual coveted Category Awards, we are also introducing The G Hallmark of Excellence to honour establishments that consistently make the prestigious list.
