Now in their second year, these awards celebrate and reward the very best restaurants in their field across a variety of categories. The winners will be the restaurants, restaurateurs and chefs who are setting the standards for others in the industry to aspire to.
Nominations are welcomed from restaurants themselves, customers and suppliers to the trade. The winners will be announced at a glittering award ceremony held on Tuesday 27th January 2009 at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow.
