Recognizing Excellence in Hospitality

Celebrating the artistry, passion, and innovation that define the world’s finest restaurants and hospitality professionals.

About The Gold Plate Awards

Each year, the Gold Plate Awards celebrate the exceptional talent shaping the culinary and hospitality landscape. From visionary restaurateurs and world-class chefs to innovative sommeliers and international kitchen teams, our awards recognize the dedication, creativity, and passion that drive the industry forward.

We believe that restaurants, hotels, bars, sommeliers, chefs, international kitchens, and even beloved pizzerias deserve their own recognition — their own “flowers” — for the remarkable experiences they create.

For the first time in 26 years, our team will be visiting the top restaurants in Canada starting with the cities of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Please stay tuned Canada!
