If you’re bored of the usual food-award accolades, like ‘Chef of the Year’, and the bestowing of stars, as designated by a tyre manufacturer, the new World Restaurant Awards are hoping to shake things up.

The aim of the founders – including Joe Warwick, who co-founded The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list – is to “celebrate restaurants as culture, considered in the same way as film, art and music”.

This means acknowledging restaurants for the likes of atmosphere and their house special, or for having the most captivating Instagram account.
