The world of food has changed a great deal in the way it is presented as well as its rapid growth in the number of restaurants, bars and cafes there are in Jakarta. Now, diners can expand their focus not only on the various of menu choices, best locations or exquisite taste of the cuisine, but also on the race to come up with new techniques and experiences on how to serve the customers better with a “twist” or different angle.

In actual fact, dining preferences are a very personal thing: some people like formality and sophistication while others find the crowded-zingy-with-loud-live-music venues to be very entertaining.

Conceived to recognise and reward each year’s great successes in the culinary industry-from innovative cooking, to unique cocktail presentation; from dining room design to excellent service, NOW! Jakarta’s Best Restaurant, Bar & Cafe Awards has returned with its own twist.

NOW! JAKARTA’s Best Restaurant, Bar and Cafe Awards (BRBCA) are the most respected and transparent in the industry because the winners are voted for by our very own readers, and the voting takes place online infront of your eyes!

But this year in addition to our Main Awards and our Editors’ Choice Awards, we have decided to add the “Industry Favourites” Awards. This new set of awards, voted for only by the industry professionals, will reveal those establishments which are ranked top among the chefs, hoteliers restaurateurs, baristas, F & B managers, and other culinary professionals!

Responding to the comments from the competing venues in the last few year’s competitions to the fact that the competition really is for the most “ popular” venues , not necessarily the “best” since the voters are all diners not culinary experts, this new section asking only the experts to nominate their favorites , should be an eye-opener.

As this issue’s goes to press, there are more than 100 outlets participating to win public votes and increase their online voting numbers to become the next best venues in J town.The voting process that started in early July will close on 15th August.
