Nineteen Australian projects have been named on the 217-strong shortlist for the 2016 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.
Claiming to be the only awards program in the world dedicated to the design of food and beverage spaces, the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards features 33 categories, most of which are devoted to UK entrants but there are a few category prizes on offer for international projects.
The shortlisted entries were selected from a total of 987 submissions received from over 70 countries, and covering every imaginable space from ships to airports, museums to burger vans, and revered Michelin-starred establishments to the fleeting dynamism of pop-ups.
Seven Australian projects have been named in the UK & International categories with two coming from the Identity subcategory and five from the Café subcategory respectively. Australian projects make up the majority of the Australia & Pacific Bar and the Australia & Pacific Restaurant categories and all eligible for the program’s top honours.
The winners of the 2016 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards (including Best Overall winners) will be announced during a ceremony at London’s Old Truman Brewery on 29th September 2016.
