Matthew Price, general manager of Uber Eats UK, Ireland and Northern Europe, said: "The Restaurant of the Year Awards are not just celebrating restaurants, we're investing in the future of food.
"The new Next Gen Trailblazer Award is a bold step in backing the young innovators who are rewriting the rules of hospitality."
Now in its fourth year, the competition recognises the impact of small and independently run restaurants on their communities and the wider food industry.
The top prize is a £100,000 investment to help the winning restaurant grow, while all finalists will receive £5,000 and a tailored support package from Uber Eats.
The judging panel includes figures from the world of food, including entrepreneur and musician Levi Roots, Irish celebrity chef and TV presenter Clodagh McKenna, and last year's winner Natty Crutchfield.
Mr Crutchfield, whose restaurant Natty's Jerk in Portsmouth took home the top honour in 2024, said: "Winning Restaurant of the Year was life-changing.
"We've grown faster than we ever imagined, and we're proud to be part of a community that supports independent businesses."
A new category introduced for 2025 is the Next Gen Trailblazer Award, which will recognise hospitality entrepreneurs under 27.
The winner will receive a £10,000 business development grant and development support, with the category judged by content creator and cookbook author Seema Pankhania.
