The Restaurant Awards program — launched in 1981 — honours restaurants that demonstrate outstanding wine lists, deep knowledge, and a passion for discovery. At BlackShop, we see this recognition as a celebration not only of our cellar, but of our entire team’s dedication: our sommeliers, our servers, our chefs, and most of all you, our guests.
