LIVERPOOL restaurant Puschka was named the city?s favourite at a prestigious ceremony last night.
The Liverpool Food and Drink Festival Awards, held at the Camp and Furnace, were the culmination of the 10-day gastronomic extravaganza.
More than 4,000 people cast their votes as restaurants, bars and producers battled to be called the city?s best.
Puschka, in Rodney Street, was crowned Liverpool?s Favourite Restaurant while 60 Hope Street won Restaurant Of Overall Excellence.
Lunya, in College Lane, won the award for Liverpool?s Favourite European Restaurant.
Owner Peter Kinsella said: ?Winning last year had a fantastic effect for us in many ways ? being titled as one of the city?s best is something to be very proud of. It is one of the only awards actually voted for by the public, and that is one of the highest accolades possible.?
The Outstanding Customer Service award went to Bem Brazil, in Hanover Street, while the Favourite Bar or Pub award was presented to its neighbour and fellow relative newcomer, the Hub Alehouse and Kitchen.
Most Family-Friendly Restaurant went to Yo Sushi, in Liverpool One, and Favourite Independent Cafe or Coffee Shop was awarded to Bold Street Coffee. Sapporo, in Duke Street, was voted Liverpool?s Favourite International Restaurant.
Sapporo?s managing partner, Vince Margiotta, said: ?These awards are extremely important to us as a business because it means our hard work and dedication has been recognised by the public around the city.
?To think people took the time to go online and vote in their thousands this year is overwhelming, and they are the ones responsible for helping restaurants like us to create an impressive foodie revolution in Liverpool.?
Outside the city centre, the Favourite Neighbourhood Restaurant award went to Almond, in West Derby, and Liverpool?s Favourite Food Producer was awarded to the Liverpool Cheese Company.
Favourite Sunday Lunch was given to Marco Pierre White?s The Swan, in Aughton.
