MONTREAL, Sept. 10, 2024 /CNW/ - The 30 nominees for Air Canada's Best New Restaurants 2024 were unveiled today, celebrating new culinary talent across Canada. Since 2002, Air Canada has championed the country's distinct culinary scene through the longest running Canadian restaurant ranking and its signature program, Air Canada's Best New Restaurants. The 2024 highly anticipated longlist is out today on CanadasBestNewRestaurants.com.
"We're thrilled to shine a light on Canada's emerging culinary talent through Air Canada's annual Best New Restaurants list," said Andy Shibata, Vice President, Brand, Air Canada.
