Le Fooding - Priceless Cities Best New Bistro
London Awards Ceremony
The story
Priceless Cities Best New Bistro is an international awards programe to discover and celebrate the world's most exciting new restaurants, curated by Le Fooding and powered by MasterCard. For its first year (2019), Priceless Cities Best New Bistro launched simultaneously in four Priceless Cities: London, Mexico City, New York and Paris.
The programme gave awards to four Best New Bistros (one per city), announced simultaneously and followed by four Award Ceremony Dinners held in each city.
In London, one of the most creative cities, 23 new spots were preselected. Bright, Mao Chow and Tayer + Elementary were shortlisted and submitted to a public vote.
My Hungry Valentine looked after the London Award Ceremony celebrating the two winners - there was a tie between Mao Chow and Tayēr+Elementary.
The party was held at Tayēr+Elementary with both Tata Eatery and Mao Chow cooking that night.
