For the second consecutive year, La Barca Ristorante & Wine Bar has been recognized at The Peak’s highly anticipated G Restaurant Awards.

At the presentation ceremony held in Singapore recently, La Barca received an Award of Excellence, alongside some of the island’s most renowned dining establishments.

In its fourth year, the Awards recognize topnotch restaurants for delivering superb dining experiences. An external panel of ambassadors comprising some of Singapore’s most discerning food critics such as The Straits Times’ Tan Hsueh Yun and Wong Ah Yoke, The Business Times’ Jaime Ee and Lianhe Zaobao’s Dr Ng King Kang, dined incognito to judge the restaurants. A total of 36 honours were given out this year.

Last year, at the same Awards, La Barca was named ‘Best New Restaurant, Western.’ La Barca was also one of only eight Italian restaurants in Singapore to receive the Ospitalità Italiana Award, an initiative promoted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce that recognizes authenticity and quality of the highest standards.

These accolades further cement La Barca as one of the best Italian eateries not only in Singapore but across the world.
