Launched in 2018, the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide is a respected dining reference, evaluating eateries based on three criteria: culinary excellence; experience and emotion; and heritage and innovation. It utilises a world-leading appraisal and selection system, with a high-level judging committee made up of renowned experts in the culinary field, including recognised gourmands, food researchers, master chefs and food culture communicators. This year the panel has openly recruited members and upgraded the judging mechanism to further ensure its credibility and impartiality.
