The Process
All winners are awarded based on both public votes and critic opinions and will receive their accolades amongst their peers.
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 FACT Dining Awards, held annually in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and London, with Singapore launching soon, bring together leading hospitality professionals, including restaurant owners, executive chefs, F&B directors, hotel operators, media, influencers, and key suppliers.
The awards provide a premium platform for brands to connect with senior decision-makers and engage directly with the people shaping purchasing decisions across the hospitality industry.
