Fish City wins best seafood establishment at NI Food Awards
The Food Awards Northern Ireland 2022 recognise the success of local professionals and establishments that continue delivering great flavours and experiences to their customers.
The winners are a true reflection of high standard and customer service, as they are chosen by members of the general public, who often have eclectic gastronomic tastes.
Several of the awards are split into local regions to ensure that local establishments from across the lavish city are recognised for their exceptional performance.
A Spokesperson for The Food Awards Northern Ireland said: “These awards aim to thank those that work hard within the city’s food industry and contribute to making Northern Ireland a great gastronomic place to visit.
“It is true that Northern Ireland combines tastes and flavours from all over the world and the visitors can find different restaurants, gastro pubs and bistros to meet their needs.
“These people enhance the country’s reputation nationally and internationally, and we would like to make sure that the hard work of Northern Ireland’s food professionals doesn’t go unnoticed.
“It was lovely to be part of this celebration and we would like to congratulate all finalists and winners for their achievements!”
