The Northern Ireland finalists for this year's Just Eat Restaurant Awards have been announced.
Formerly the British Takeaway Awards, the newly named accolades champion Britain’s favourite food spots and the people that make them a success.
Celebrating the best locally-loved restaurants in the country, from those who are going above and beyond in helping their local communities, to those advancing their sustainability efforts, the Awards give hard-working people their moment to shine on a national stage.
