National Restaurant Awards

The Voting Process

The National Restaurant Awards is compiled from the votes of the National Restaurant Awards Academy. We divide the country into 12 regions, with a each region having a minimum of 30 voters pooled from chefs, restaurateurs and food critics. 

There is no list of nominees; each member of our national voting panel votes for their personal choice of five restaurants. They may vote for up to two restaurants in their own region, the remaining votes must be cast outside their home region. Nobody is allowed to vote for their own restaurant and voters must have eaten in the restaurants they nominate within the past 12 months.
