Best of the Best: Who Brought Home the Most in the 2014 Reader Restaurant Awards?

The masses have spoken and its pretty much unanimous: Temple Restaurant Beijing remains the city's top restaurant with its nine wins in the Beijinger's 11th Annual Reader Restaurant Awards, announced Monday at the Conrad Beijing.

With a chart-topping nine awards (every one of them a "Best"), TRB seems an unstoppable force in fine dining in our fair city. Despite (or perhaps because of) its obscure location in a long-disused temple, TRB won your hearts in so many ways, including Restaurant of the Year, Best for Impressing Visitors and Personality of the Year. It's hard not to recognize it as the cream of the crop.

That's not to say that TRB is the only place in town to dine – au contraire, other spots with mulitple wins in 2014 include Mosto, Capital M and Da Dong on the fine dining end of things, and Home Plate, Annie's, Moka Bros and Great Leap on the more casual end.

For those of you counting at home, here's a list of all the multiple-award winners in the 2014 Reader Restaurant Awards, ranked by number of awards won. You really can't go wrong at any of them – and if you haven't been to all of them, can you really call yourself a Beijinger?
