Moët and Chandon

The annual Awards, now in their fifth year, are now the most prestigious event in London's restaurant calendar. LondonEats.com was also watching with, as ever - a critical eye.

With 12 different category places up for grabs and thousands of London restaurants to choose from, competition is very fierce, but the rewards are overwhelming. If the restaurants didn't already have a huge waiting list for a table, you can bet they will soon have.

The winners are listed below and if you thought for one minute that LondonEats.com was going to promote the category winners, just because they've won an awardthink again.

LondonEats.com reserves the right to its opinion on the restaurants in question and we are not afraid letting you know.

Next year, LondonEats.com would like to see more budget restaurants nominated. Great food doesn't have to cost lots of money. How about a category for best Fish 'n Chip shop or best Bacon-Butty?
