The shortlist comprises some of Britain’s most prolific restaurants with The Ritz Restaurant, St John and Opheem among the contenders for Restaurant of the Year.
The Good Food Guide also offers an award for Chef to Watch that has been described as “more hotly contested than ever” with seven hopefuls up for the award.
Also among the awards is the Best New Restaurant which showcases the smash-hit new openings of the past year.
Discussing the awards Chloë Hamilton, co-editor of The Good Food Guide said: “This year’s shortlist is a magnificent mix of starry names alongside some brilliant lesser-known talent that anyone interested in restaurants should be taking note of.
“If last year’s ceremony is anything to go by, our return to Theatre Royal Drury Lane is set to be a huge night of celebration with some revelations to remember.”
Among the shortlist for the Good Food Guide Awards are 13 London restaurants.
