Ever eaten in these places?
While it’s impossible to gauge the quality of every single restaurant that you can order some grub from in Ireland, judging the restaurants listed on Just Eat is arguably the closest thing to doing so given the popularity of their online food delivery and the number of different restaurants, tastes and foods they cater for.
On that note, Just Eat have shortlisted 80 finalists for the 2018 edition of the National Takeaway Awards.
For the fifth year running, the awards celebrate the takeaway industry, recognise the quality of food and service consistently delivered, and acknowledge the best in the takeaway food industry.
There are 22 categories in total and these include two new categories; Best Takeaway Middle Eastern and Best Takeaway Vegetarian, which join the usual competitive favourites such as Best Takeaway Chinese, Best Takeaway Chipper and Best Takeaway Spicebag.
The winners of the Just Eat National Takeaway Awards will be announced on 16 October and you can vote here.
As for the restaurants/takeaways/chippers etc that have been nominated, you can see the list in full below, with the majority of nominees, perhaps not surprisingly, coming from Dublin.
