DINE AND SHINE • Few sectors of our community were more deeply affected by the stresses of 2020 than the restaurant industry. Yet, in the midst of the economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, many restaurants managed to reinvent themselves. Against this backdrop, the eighth annual NI Dining Awards feel more significant than ever: They represent many stories of triumph over obstacles that seemed nearly insurmountable at times. This year’s vote totals also emphasized the importance of reader participation. The runner-up slot in the Best Restaurant category was a statistical tie, and a single vote separated the top three finishers for Best Pizza. Just as in the wider world, every vote truly counts. Here, we highlight our Editor’s Picks followed by our Readers’ Choice winners.
