The Northern Ireland Restaurant Awards, an event that will recognise
the best restaurants in the country, has announced the 2023 finalists.
The first ever Northern Ireland Restaurant Awards 2023 will celebrate
the best restaurants and culinary talent in the country.
The awards aim to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of
restaurants, chefs, and their teams in delivering exceptional dining
experiences to customers.
Following the voting process where the public considered everything
from ambience to service and variety in the menu, the finest
restaurants and dining establishments in Northern Ireland have been
shortlisted in various categories.
The County Derry fooderies nominated at NI Restaurant Awards 2023
include Ocho Bistro and Meatbox in Coleraine for Spanish Restaurant of
the Year and Burger Restaurant of the Year respectively.
Also, Ponderosa in Dungiven has been nominated for Restaurant of the
Year and Silky's Bistro, also in Dungiven, has been shortlisted for

The winners of each category will be announced at the elegant ceremony
which will take place in Belfast next month.
The awards provide an opportunity to showcase the diversity and quality
of the country’s cuisine, which is known for its use of fresh, locally
sourced ingredients and traditional cooking techniques.
By recognising outstanding restaurants and dining establishments, the
awards help to raise the profile of the Northern Irish food and
restaurant industry and contribute to its ongoing growth and success.
A Spokesperson for The Northern Ireland Restaurant Awards 2023 said:
“The Northern Ireland Restaurant Awards are an amazing opportunity to
