How we select
The newsroom applies the same five criteria to every place, in any country. The selection is built from the pieces we have already published, decided collectively and reviewed every year. Nobody pays to be in it.
ProduceThe quality and origin of what reaches the table.
TechniqueMastery of the craft in every dish.
HarmonyThe balance of flavours, textures and proposal.
CharacterThe personality of the kitchen in what it serves.
ConsistencyThe same standard across the menu and over time.
Laurels recognise places that keep reappearing in our pages over time.
