How do you select places?
- Places with a Google rating of at least 4.0 and a substantial number of reviews.
- We prioritize long-standing local favorites, restaurants selected by the MICHELIN Guide (including Bib Gourmand), and places featured by local and international travel publications.
- We list only places with signs of activity within the past year, such as visitor reviews or official posts.
- For nightlife, we select only places where you can enjoy music, drinks, and the atmosphere.
What do “Verified” and “Visited by the editor” mean?
“Verified” means the operator has confirmed through Google Maps and recent visit records that the place is still open.
“👣 Visited by the editor” means the operator has been there in person. However, we do not list a place if recent reviews have worsened, even if we have visited it. The food and service may have changed since the visit.
