Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list was just released and it’s brimming with dining options from coast to coast to coast! Today, we’re sharing all the spots you need to add to your 2024 dining bucket list.
What is Canada’s 100 Best?
Canada’s 100 Best is a yearly guide to the best dining destinations across the country. As a former restaurant critic, Editor-in-chief Jacob Richler was often asked for dining recommendations. To Richler, this information was too good not to share, which led him to launch Canada’s 100 Best ten years ago.
How are restaurants selected?
A panel of 150 judges is assembled to vote for restaurants based on the complete dining experience: service, décor, the depth of the cellar — and, above all else, food quality. Each judge must vote for a minimum of three restaurants outside of their home region. The panel includes informed culinary enthusiasts, food writers and critics, chefs, restaurateurs and other food-service professionals.
