It was a record-breaking year for entries, with more than 200 businesses applying to be recognised for their contribution to the Leeds food and drink scene.
Now in their 15th year, the prestigious awards were set up in 2008 to shout about the sector and the fabulous people behind it. Industry experts had the unenviable task of judging the entries, picking a shortlist of finalists for each of the 16 categories.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony at New Dock Hall on March 18 and tickets are now available on the Oliver Awards website. This year, there will be a new Judges' Choice award which will be announced on the night, and will replace Overall Restaurant.
Here we reveal the 2024 shortlist. Finalists in each category are listed in alphabetical order.
