Mentored by Rashmi Uday Singh, Kunal Vijayakar and Sid Mewara, the restaurants were voted by an esteemed independent jury comprising over 60 leading food critics and connoisseurs.
The ratings were divided into two categories – Epicurean Stars (Fine Dining) and Epicurean Gems (Casual Dining) – covering the culinary landscape in Delhi NCR from end to end.
While ITC was the Presenting Partner, UNOX and Indian School of Hospitality (ISH) were the Powered by Partners. In addition, Ariane Fine Porcelain and Bisleri Vedica were the Associate Partners and Premier Printers was the Trophy Partner.
Grand Hyatt Gurgaon GM Tarun Seth personally oversaw every little detail along with his team to present another grand spectacle for the food and hospitality industry. “We are delighted to host this amazing event and celebrate the best in the F&B industry in Delhi NCR,” Tarun said.
After the Bengaluru and Delhi NCR editions, the final leg of ITC Presents Epicurean Restaurant Ratings 2024 took place at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu on December 17. This year, the plan is further expand and add three more cities to these ratings.
The overwhelming response to these ratings prove how important it is to recognise, honour and celebrate culinary excellence in each city.
