FACT Qatar Magazine hosted the prize giving ceremony for its highly successful FACT Dining Awards 2015 campaign on Monday at Doha Marriot Hotel. Over 250 guests enjoyed a night of entertainment, food and drink, as the winners from the 28 categories were announced.

The FACT Dining Awards recognises excellence in the food and beverage industry, with winners awarded based on both public vote and critics' opinion.

Each category was given two awards, which were divided into a popular choice decided through online voting, and a critics' choice decided by an independent panel of Qatar bloggers and industry experts.

This month's event marked the first time that the campaign was staged in Qatar. Qatar Living was a media partner for the awards and played a major role in making it the biggest FACT Dining Awards in the region based on number of votes.

Below is a list of all winners, Best and Favourite, for all categories.
