With more than 600 restaurants in the<br \/>\nLower Mainland, no one person can know them all. The Diners&#8217; Choice<br \/>\nAwards are a great referral system to what is currently excellent.&quot;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Voting took place from October 6 to November 12, drawing about 2,000<br \/>\nmore participants over last year.
