YOU have just two days left to vote for the best restaurant in Brighton and Hove.

Brighton’s Best Restaurants awards takes place next month at The Komedia in Gardner Street.

More than 200 experts vote for the Top 20 list but this year they are being joined by a group of amateur restaurant critics.

Awards co-founder and food journalist Patrick McGuigan said: “Our Top 20 list is voted for by local experts who have an intimate knowledge of the the city’s thriving food scene,

“But there are also some seriously devoted restaurant-goers among the public in Brighton and Hove who we would love to be involved.

“That’s why we’re putting together a panel of the city’s most dedicated diners.

“We’re looking for a crack team of amateur restaurant critics who eat out in the city on a regular basis and have a good understanding of what makes a restaurant really special.

“Brighton’s Best Restaurants is all about celebrating the city’s dynamic food scene, “We hope that by getting the city’s master diners involved, it will help shine a light on what a fantastic array of restaurants we have in the city.

“Brighton now rivals anywhere in the country outside London in terms of the quality of its restaurants.”

Goodmoney CIC – which operates a gift voucher initiative that supports local, independent businesses in Brighton and Hove - is sponsoring the elite foodie panel of carefully chosen members of the public.

Organisers wants to hear from residents and they would like to know which local restaurants people have eaten at in the past six months and the best dish they’ve ordered.

Send this info by Monday via Twitter (@BrightonTop20), Instagram (BrightonsBestRestaurants) or Facebook (www.facebook.com/BrightonsBestRestaurants) using the hashtag #BrightonTop20, or email hello@brightonsbestrestaurants.com.

The final panel will be invited to take part in the voting and then attend the finals next month.
