EDMONTON – Six Edmonton eateries made the list compiled by OpenTable of the top 100 restaurants in Canada.
The list, released Thursday, from the online reservations provider reflects the combined opinions of more than 275,000 dining reviews submitted by verified OpenTable users for some 1,500 restaurants. The reviewers dined at the restaurants between Feb. 1, 2014 and Jan. 31, 2015.
Restaurants with a minimum number of reviews were sorted according to a score calculated from each restaurant’s average rating in the “overall” category.
Ontario dominated the list with 38 restaurants in the top 100, followed by Quebec with 21, British Columbia with 19 and Alberta with 15.
Edmonton restaurants who made the list, in alphabetical order, are:
Characters Fine Dining
Hardware Grill
The Marc
Red Ox Inn
Sabor Restaurant
Tzin Wine & Tapas
“What I like about it the most is that it’s from our diners,” said Patrick Saurette, co-owner of The Marc.
“I don’t think there’s any better vote than the vote from your customers. That’s the important thing about that one.”
He was also happy to see several Edmonton restaurants receive national exposure.
“I get a lot of comments from colleagues down east like ‘What’s going on out there?’ There is something pretty cool going on out here.”
