Did you know that there are 74 restaurants in the Waterfront? That’s a lot. Restaurants in shopping centres are not normally the cream of the crop, in fact, I generally don’t review restaurants in shopping centres. But the Waterfront is not your average shopping centre and some of the restaurants in the Waterfront are actually top class. Think of Meloncino for Italian, and Belthazar for steak, Balducci’s or Sevruga for anything really and don’t forget Willoughby’s for seafood and sushi (several of those are running great winter specials, see the list here).

Anyway, the Waterfront has teamed up with Eat Out and created some awards for the best restaurants in the Waterfront in various categories. This year is the first year of the awards and the winners are as follows:

Best Deluxe:  Signal

Best SmartSevruga

Best Casual:  Paulaner Bräuhaus

Best Café Culture: Myatt Café & Chocolatier
 
Best Pub Style:  Bascule Whisky Bar and Wine Cellar
 
Best On the Run:  Anat Falafel and Shwarma
