Restaurants Celebrating Excellence
When you visit a DiRōNA-awarded restaurant, you experience a level of hospitality recognized across North America for exceptional dining.
Since 1990, DiRōNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) has recognized restaurants that consistently deliver exceptional dining experiences. The DiRōNA Award of Excellence, a brushed aluminum wall plaque displayed, signals a restaurant’s commitment to outstanding food, thoughtful beverage programs, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Recognized restaurants throughout North America display the DiRōNA Award of Excellence in their dining rooms. It represents a commitment to hospitality. Cuisine, beverage programs, service, and ambiance combine for a memorable experience.
When diners see the DiRōNA Award, it signals that the restaurant meets DiRōNA standards and joins this elite group.
The photographs on this page feature the chefs and restaurateurs behind these experiences, pictured with their DiRōNA Award of Excellence, which is often proudly displayed in their dining rooms.
