A legacy of celebrating culinary excellence
Since its inception, the FACT Dining Awards have been a hallmark of the region’s vibrant F&B industry, shining a spotlight on the best restaurants, cafés, and culinary innovators. The return to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Riyadh comes with renewed excitement, as each city continues to push boundaries in the dining world.
A new era for FACT Dining Awards in London

How It Works
Voting for the awards is open to the public, ensuring that the winners reflect genuine consumer preferences. Categories span a broad spectrum of dining experiences, from luxury fine dining to casual venues.
