THE 2022 RESTAURANT DESIGN AWARDS RECIPIENTS ARE...

Now in its seventeenth year, the AIALA Restaurant Design Awards honor and celebrate the delicious design of restaurants, bars, cafes, nightclubs/lounges and al fresco dining solutions.

The program is an opportunity for both owners and designers to showcase the design of their premises that is as tantalizing and tasty as the culinary hotspots the architecture envelops.
