Which new Columbus restaurant is the best of 2023? Vote in Final Round of our restaurant poll

As Columbus rings in the new year, it’s a good chance to look back on the new restaurants that opened in 2023.

After three rounds of voting, the Ledger-Enquirer readers have chosen their finalists.

Snacks Chabelita won Round 1 with 70% of the vote, Bella’s CAKEtering won Round 2 with 44% of the vote and The Mix Market won round 3 with 54% of the vote.

These winners will now go head-to-head in a final round to determine the winner.

Voters must validate they are humans and not Skynet in disguise. But they can vote as many times as they’d like. This first round of voting will end Jan. 10 at 12 p.m.

Here’s some details about the three restaurants featured in the final round of voting:

  • The Mix Market is located downtown and has a variety of cuisines on its menu.
  • Bella’s CAKEtering was already a popular food truck at Fort Moore before the owners opened a restaurant inside the Asian Supermarket on Milgen Road.

  • Snacks Chabelita is a Mexican snack bar that opened early this year on Warm Springs Road that offers a variety of drinks and Mexcian street food.

It’s up to our readers to decide which new business will have the bragging rights. Please remember this online poll is not scientific.
