Best Restaurants

OUR PANEL FOR THE 2025 LIST FEATURED an all-time high of 160 voting judges — a balanced mix of informed culinary enthusiasts, food writers and critics, chefs, restaurateurs and other food-service professionals. Their number in each province and region is proportional to its population. Each judge is asked to submit a list of their top 10 restaurant experiences of the previous year, ranking them with consideration to service, décor, depth of the cellar and — above all else — food quality. Points are assigned to restaurants for each placement on a ballot and are heavily weighted for higher finishes. Broad judge support will promote a restaurant onto the top 100 list. But a restaurant requires passionate endorsement — expressed as first-, second- and third-place rankings on individual ballots — to earn a spot in the list’s upper echelons. We believe that the 2025 list is an accurate measure of which restaurants excelled in 2024, which makes them great dining choices for today. C100B congratulates all of these restaurants for their exceptional work. And we look forward to visiting again very soon.
