Bookatable has awarded Aqua Shard with the title of ‘Best Restaurant in London 2018’ during the Bookatable’s Diner Awards, which are in its fourth year. The Awards has also revealed the results of the Top 50 Best restaurants in London, based on customer reviews and ratings left on the company’s website.
Bookatable’s Diner Awards 2018 analysed over 150,000 verified diner reviews and ratings from the Bookatable.co.uk website and took into consideration several factors, including number of reviews submitted, star ratings and review content to determine the final list of winners. All reviews on the Bookatable.co.uk site are left by verified Bookatable diners, because only people who have dined at the restaurant can leave a review.
Apart from the Top 50 restaurants, there are other winners across 13 different categories, including Best Indian, Best British, Best Italian, Best Restaurant for Breakfast, Best Al Fresco, Best Restaurant for Afternoon Tea, Best Steak, Best Child-Friendly, Best Seafood, Best French and Best European.
“At Bookatable, we love great restaurants and are committed to offering our diners a wide choice of places to eat; from high street favourites and leading pubs to once-in-a-lifetime Michelin-starred restaurants,” said Michel Cassius, CEO of Bookatable.
“This year, we are pleased to add more award categories to reflect and celebrate the diversity that our diners are looking for. What makes the Bookatable Diner Awards special for the restaurant industry is that they are granted by the restaurant diners themselves, people who have enjoyed their dining experience and are keen to recommend the restaurants they love. We all know how much trusted reviews matter to everyone,” he added.
The full list of the winners at the Awards can be found below.
