The G Restaurant Awards 2012 for The Peak Selections: Gourmet & Travel held its third annual awards ceremony at Chijmes Hall attended by food and beverage industry specialists.

The Awards recognise top-notch restaurants that deliver superb dining experiences and, this year, a total of 29 awards were given out.

Two-year-old Shinji by Kanesaka emerged as Restaurant of the Year, distinguished by its fierce dedication to only the best in service and ingredients.

Other key awards this year include the Best Celebrity Restaurant Award (Western) won by L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, as well as the Best New Restaurant Awards received by Il Cielo (Western) and Tong Le Private Dining (Asian).

The Awards Party also presented awards for the Top 100 Wines - a carefully curated list of winning wines that truly raise the bar for taste, quality and value.

The Wine of the Year 2012 goes to Argiano Brunello Di Montalcino (2004) from Italy.

"There has not been a more exhilarating time in the dining scene as we have now in Singapore.

"While having a range of good options is always wonderful for diners, it becomes even more critical to sift through these options and provide our readers with a definitive choice.

"That is where The G Restaurant Awards and Top 100 Wines come in. We provide readers with an exclusive and insightful guide to the best of the best in food and wine," said Mr Sylvester Ng, project editor of The Peak Selections: Gourmet & Travel.
