If there’s one thing you can count on Richmond for, it’s the city’s diverse and interesting places to dine.
Whether it’s a cultured appetiser, a fresh slice of pizza, up-market pub grub or something tasty from the four corners of the world, Richmond has just about every taste bud covered.
And to pay homage to the city’s food scene, the Richmond News has decided to launch the first ever, annual Eaters’ Choice Awards.
With more than 2,500 restaurants, Richmond is known throughout the world for its culinary scene and now you, the Richmond News readers, have a chance to vote for your favourite local food spots.
It could be your favourite bakery, bartender, breakfast or brunch. Or it could be your go-to restaurant chain or independently-owned neighbourhood pub.
“Dining in Richmond offers something for every palate,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
“Our unlimited variety of international cuisine reflects the city’s diverse ethnic mix and cultural heritage.
“From fine-dining to family-oriented, convenient, casual and pub establishments, many use local ingredients grown right here in Richmond,” added Brodie.
To get voting for your favourite eating and socializing places, check out our contest on the home page of this site and also in the Friday, Nov. 6 edition of the News.
You can also vote online at Richmond-News.com; look out for the Eaters’ Choice Awards tab on the right-hand side of the homepage.
Voters can win a $200 gift certificate to a restaurant or grocery store of their choice. Happy voting and eating!
