Novotel Vijayawada Varun’s signature Pan-Asian dining destination, Red Bowl, has been awarded the title of Best Restaurant in Vijayawada at the 3rd South Edition of the Food Connoisseurs Awards. The accolade cements the venue’s reputation as a driving force in the city’s rapidly evolving culinary landscape.
The recognition highlights Red Bowl’s success in offering a refined yet accessible journey through the vibrant flavors of East and Southeast Asia. More than just a place to eat, the restaurant has distinguished itself as an experiential destination, largely thanks to its pioneering introduction of a live teppanyaki counter—a first for the city.
This interactive dining experience has become a signature draw, blending the theater of live cooking with bold, balanced flavors. Thoughtfully curated to cater to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian palates, the teppanyaki station transforms a meal into a performance, offering diners a taste of something truly beyond the ordinary.
“We are truly honoured to receive this recognition,” said Manish Pathak, Hotel Manager of Novotel Vijayawada Varun. “Over the years, Red Bowl has grown into a preferred dining destination for family celebrations, casual get-togethers, and solo diners alike. This award reflects our commitment to evolving our offerings in line with what the city is ready to explore. Vijayawada’s dining scene is becoming more adventurous, and we are excited to be part of that journey.”
The award from the Food Connoisseurs India Convention reinforces Novotel Vijayawada Varun’s standing as a premier food and beverage hub, underscoring its role in shaping Vijayawada’s emergence as a dynamic center for diverse and experiential cuisine.
