Eat Out reveals first 15 nominees for 2015 Restaurant Awards

The highly anticipated 2015 Eat Out Restaurant Awards will take place at the Sunday lunch of the year on 15 November at Mistico Equestrian Estate near Paarl where the final Top 10 Restaurants in South Africa will be announced. 

In previous years Eat Out have released the names of the 20 nominees in the lead up to the big gala event on their website and via a press release. This year, however, they are doing things a little differently. Yesterday they announced the first 10 nominees via unique videos on the Eat Out website and today the final 10 nominees will be announced.

WATCH: Watch as the first 5 chefs find out they have been nominated.

Please let us know who else you think will make the list of the 20 nominees in the comments below!

The announcements are not the only thing Eat Out are doing differently this year. Instead of the glitzy gala evening, usually held on a Sunday evening, this year will see Eat Out host the lunch party of the year in Paarl.

This year’s judges for the awards are Abigail Donnelly, Siba Mtongana, Jackie Cameron and Benny Masekwameng.

We are certainly looking forward to hearing who the Top 10 restaurants in South Africa will be come November 15th.

Last year’s winners were in the following order:

 1. The Test Kitchen


2. Five Hundred

3. The Tasting Room

4. Mosaic 

5.  Jordan

6. Overture

7. Rust en Vrede

8.DWEleven13

9. The Restaurant at Newton Johnson

10. Terroir
