Eat Out announces SA's best everyday eateries for 2018

22 Oct 2018

Curious about where South Africans love to eat on a daily basis? Eat Out and Mercedes-Benz recently announced the best everyday eateries in the Western Cape, Gauteng, and KwaZulu-Natal at award celebrations held in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

After a year-long voting period and adjudication process, the top eateries in each category were, in conjunction with scoring from professional Eat Out critics, determined by public ratings received via the Eat Out app and website.

2018 is the fourth year that Eat Out, together with Mercedes-Benz, has invited the public to help select South Africa’s favourite everyday restaurants via the star rating system on the website and Eat Out’s new app.

“These awards never fail to excite us, as we find out which restaurants inspire the most devotion amongst its fans,” says Linda Scarborough, editor of Eat Out. “This year, the easy-to-use Eat Out app made reviewing that much easier so we could garner public opinion on as many South African restaurants as possible. We love reading about users’ dining experiences and look to their star ratings to determine the shortlist. Our professional critics also review each eligible restaurant to determine the final winners in a 50-50 composite score.”

The eligibility period for restaurant reviews for the Best Everyday Eateries was 1 September 2017 to 31 August 2018, followed by the critic review period in September 2018 for qualifying restaurants that received the highest average star rating but didn’t have a critic’s review for the period. Final scores were based on a 50-50 composite rating determined by both the public and the critics.

“The people have once again spoken, placing their votes for where they most enjoy dining regularly. We congratulate the winning restaurants for being voted the best by those who matter most – their loyal patrons,” said Selvin Govender, marketing director of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
