The awards, hosted by the world’s largest travel guidance platform, rates restaurants from across the globe based on the quality and quantity of their reviews, and calculates the findings into different categories.

This year, La Fiesta in Doncaster has been rated as fifth in the world in a brand new subcategory ‘Best Hidden Gem’.

The Travellers’ Choice Awards typically represent the top-rated, most popular restaurants, but this year Tripadvisor sought to showcase lesser-known spots and places locals love with a category revealing the best Hidden Gems.

Lauren Murphy, Vice President, GM of Hospitality Solutions at Tripadvisor said:

“Dining out is an internationally beloved pastime: for many restaurant-goers, it’s frequenting their favourite neighbourhood eatery and for others, it’s snagging a table at a top-rated restaurant on holiday.

"Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards, decided by people who visited and reviewed these places in the past year, offers authentic recommendations for the best places to eat no matter the occasion!” she added.
