Restaurant & Bar Design Awards 2013: Winners revealed
Nearly 190 projects from the world’s leading architects, interior designers, lighting designers and hospitality operators were on the shortlist this year, with award categories including fast-casual, multiple restaurant and standalone bar.
The Standalone Restaurant category was one of the most hotly-contested categories, with MASH, & Kitchen Table at Bubbledogs and 28-50 among the venues fighting it out ahead of last Thursday's announcement at the Farmiloe Building in Clerkenwell.
Last week's ceremony featured four different themed bar areas which were created using ‘only white products’, from four previous Best Restaurant and Best Bar winners. The four teams included the designers of Busaba Eathai, Galvin La Chapelle and Guoman Hotels.
