We’re so excited about our brand-new set of awards, the Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Best Everyday Eateries, with the winners in each category in each province voted for by you.
For the past four years, the ‘Best of’ winners have been chosen by the restaurant awards judge(s). This year, in line with international reviewing sites, Eat Out is letting the fans choose their own Best Everyday Eateries. There will be winners for each category in each province. (The Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Restaurant Awards remain focused on the Top 10 restaurants in the country, Chef of the Year and other accolades for fine dining restaurants as judged by a panel of experts.)
There are 10 categories: Best Asian Eatery, Best Bistro, Best Country-Style Eatery, Best Italian Eatery, Best Steakhouse, Best Coffee Shop, Best Burger Eatery, Best Indian Eatery, Best African Eatery and Best Seafood Eatery. A winner will be chosen for each category in each of the nine provinces (provided minimum criteria are met), with 90 potential winners.
Eat Out fans directly influence the results with their star ratings when they review a restaurant on the site. Stars are awarded from one (poor) to five (excellent), for food and drinks, ambience and service. Users need to log in to write a review and give a rating. The restaurants with the highest average star rating in each category in each province for the eligible period will win. The awards period is 1 October 2014 to 30 September 2015. Restaurants are welcome to encourage their patrons to rate and review them on eatout.co.za.

You may review and rate as many restaurants as you’d like, but only one review per user profile per restaurant will be tallied. (So you can’t review and rate the same restaurant more than once in the awards period.)
Click here to write your review. Once you’re ready to submit it, you will be asked to complete the log-in process.
For obvious reasons, a restaurant’s staff may not rate and review their own restaurant. Spot checks will be carried out and offenders will be disqualified.
Winners will be announced in 10 categories, including Best Burger Eatery.

The Best Everyday Eateries will be announced at two events in October 2015, one in Johannesburg and one in Cape Town.
Kim and Chloe gave their local coffee shop five out of five for serving salads sans annoying bits of raw onion that they had to pick out.

You’re definitely missing out on a great little restaurant in Ceres, called Eden. They KNOW what to do with a steak – everything is just perfect! And their prices are even cheaper than the Spur! We always stop there after a Sunday drive, all the way from Paarl. Please go there and rate them too.
This is so wonderful and amazing
