The Skinny Food and Drink Survey 2019: The Winners

Every year this happens; we ask you lot to tell us your favourite bars, restaurants and other foodie spots, and you respond with thousands of suggestions leaving us with a massive logistical headache and rumbling tummies. This year's selection of winning venues covers a bit of everything – there's cosy cafes to hide out in, spicy dishes to wake you up from a midday slumber, bars working at the cutting edge of the beer world, and expertly-curated shop shelves that you want to just tip straight into your cupboard. Dive in, find somewhere new to try, and let us know how you get on.
