The winners of the 2020 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards have been announced.
Last year saw Johannesburg’s Alice & Fifth win the award for Best Overall Restaurant. Designed by TristanPlessisStudio, it was a first for a local design studio. The studio has won again this year, for the design of Americano in Dubai, UAE, in the Best Middle East & Africa Bar category.
The award for Best Overall Restaurant 2020 went to Garden Hotpot, designed by MUDA-Architects, while the award for Best Overall Bar went to INNS Bar, designed by Wooton Designers, both of which are located in China’s Chengdu.
