The winners for London's most prestigious restaurant awards have been announced.

Moët And Chandon Restaurant Awards 2001

2001 Moët And Chandon Restaurant Awards

The judges mostly avoided the names of last year and picked some truly exceptional and diverse eateries from great nominations.

It also seems that some of our comments on the awards last year were taken on board. For the first time mid and budget priced restaurants have nominated as well as what we at LondonEats term as ExpensiveEats. Also, the one of the categories has disappeared which we think is a good thing - The Most Fashionable Restaurant. In its place are six extra nationalities categories.
