Canada’s 100 best restaurants, according to OpenTable

You now have a new list to consult when choosing where to dine out.

OpenTable, an online restaurant reservation and review service, announced its 100 best restaurants in Canada for 2015 on Thursday. Just over 60 per cent of them are repeat winners.

The award winners span seven provinces, but the majority can be found in Ontario (41 restaurants), British Columbia (20), Alberta (19), and Quebec (17).

The greatest number (28) of the top restaurants on the list are in Toronto.

Last year, Toronto also dominated the inaugural eatery rankings from magazine Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants.

Montreal snagged 16 spots on OpenTable’s rankings, while Vancouver earned 13.

Five Edmonton eateries made the cut, as did nine in Calgary and five in the Rockies.

As for the kind of cuisine Canadians crave, OpenTable found French fare to be most popular for the second year in a row. Canadian and Italian cuisines placed second and third.

Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Syrian cuisines ranked in the Top 100 as well.

The reviews considered were from Dec. 1, 2014 to Nov. 30, 2015.
