Where both Greatness and Popularity are Rewarded

FACT AWARDS: PEOPLE’S CHOICE DINING AWARDS

Beyond its role as a digital city guide, FACT Magazine, through the FACT Dining Awards, has embarked on a visionary strategy to transform the awards industry, specifically in the dining sector. The awards aim to bring greater legitimacy and authenticity to the recognition of excellence while empowering the public to voice who they believe is most deserving.

FACT Awards has built strong partnerships with institutional leaders across the Middle East and the UK. Together, they introduced the first-ever global awards combining expert judgment and public voting, marking a milestone in the recognition of excellence in the international culinary
industry.

Building on this legacy of success, FACT Dining Awards is now entering the Asian market. The inaugural edition in Singapore will launch in 2026, marking an exciting new chapter in FACT’s journey.

The Process

All winners are awarded based on both public votes and critic opinions and will receive their accolades amongst their peers.

There are 2 awards in key categories:
‘favourite’ decided by an online vote and ‘best’ decided by a panel of independent experts.

Best

We will be bringing together a panel of independent experts and reports from mystery shoppers and public votes, as well as analytics our team gathers for each outlet to decide the winners in each category.

Each restaurant is scored on these following criteria:

– FOOD

(which includes the food presentation, the menu composition, the taste and the value for money)

– SERVICE

– AMBIENCE

Favourite

The public use online voting to decide the Favourite winners in their categories. Nominations can be promoted by participating restaurants to create maximum awareness and attract votes by means of the official voting button (marketing collateral supply by FACT Magazine FZ LLC ) that will be provided in advance.
