A Few Observations

 Winning restaurants were decided by the leaders of Bahrain's 5 and premium 4 Star hotels, plus a number of other carefully selected food and hospitality experts.

 Judges were not allowed to vote for any restaurant connected to their own company.

 Voting among judges was fully transparent.

 Of the top 20 restaurants, 5 specialise in Japanese cuisine.

 After Japanese, the most popular cuisine among the top 20 is Italian (3 restaurants)

 Clay was the most-voted restaurant among the judges.

 4 of the 20 top restaurants - CUT by Wolfgang Puck, Masso, Mirai, and My Café were among the 12 winners of the previous Bahrain’s Best Restaurants Awards.

 The previous awards recognised 12 winners plus 28 highly recommended restaurants compared to 20 winners plus 18 highly recommended today. The reason for the difference in numbers is that results depend entirely on the judges' voting patterns.
