OUR PANEL FOR THE 2026 LIST FEATURED 160 voting judges — a balanced mix of informed culinary enthusiasts, food writers and critics, chefs, restaurateurs and other food-service professionals. The weight of their votes 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, decor, depth of the cellar and — above all else — food quality. Points are assigned to restaurants for each placement on a ballot. While it has no impact on rank, we have for your convenience included two new features in our listings. New restaurants are now marked as such. And for your further convenience, we have also included a price guide.
$ means that an appetizer, main course and dessert (or a tasting menu) for one person before tax and tip adds up to $100 or less.
$$ indicates that the same bundle costs $100 to $200.
$$$ means that it runs $200 to $400.
And $$$+ means watch out.
We believe that the 2026 list is an accurate measure of which restaurants excelled in 2025, 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.
