Here are all the winners from the Time Out Shanghai Food Awards
If there's any word to describe Shanghai, it’s ‘cosmopolitan’, and eating in Shanghai is no different. The inaugural Time Out Shanghai Food Awards honour all this city has to offer, celebrating its contemporary food scene, the incredible people behind it and the fantastic venues they helm.
You voted your favourites for the People’s Choice awards while our judges plucked out showstoppers and trailblazing newcomers in categories that celebrated the best openings of 2016, alongside the icons and legends of Shanghai.
