Done well, restaurant design can be transformative and transportive, and can even make the food actually taste better. It is one of the most important factors of the dining experience, playing a key role in customer satisfaction and ultimately, the success of a restaurant.

Every year, the AIA|LA honors the vital role good interior design plays in the world of dining, distinguishing designers who take the restaurant typology up a notch with their Restaurant Design Awards. Now in its 14th year, the jury has narrowed the competition pool down to 12 finalists in three categories—'Restaurant', 'Cafe/Bars', and 'Lounge/Nightclub'.

From a modern, upscale Mexican restaurant dressed in light wood surfaces to a Cuban-inspired cafe whose design incorporates antique coffee artifacts, the 2018 finalists represent some of the year's most striking designs. Get a glimpse right below. A public vote for the 2018 RDA People's Choice Award Winners is also now open here: http://conta.cc/2u92Zib (To share with friends, please copy link directly)
