Sometimes the best food critics are everyday diners and food enthusiasts. And OpenTable’s 2023 list of Top 100 Restaurants in America does just that.
The new ranking curates a list of 100 beloved restaurants around the country, generated from over 12 million OpenTable diner reviews and dining metrics. The results: a list including Michelin-starred spots, lesser-known eateries in smaller cities (this year’s list has 64 cities, as compared to 2022’s 47 cities), and data indicating nationwide dining trends. 2023’s data showed an increase in solo dining and more restaurants offering West African, African and Lebanese cuisines.
"This year's Top 100 list features neighborhood gems, hotspots like Bad Roman, MICHELIN-starred venues like Jeune et Jolie, and restaurants new to the list from coast-to-coast," said Debby Soo, CEO of OpenTable. "We also see representation across the culinary spectrum – with cuisines like Mediterranean, French and Japanese included."
Unlike many top restaurant lists where the chosen eateries are nearly impossible to snag a table at, OpenTable’s list only includes businesses on their platform, meaning they all take digital reservations. The full list below.

Travelers often overlook Belgium in favor of neighbors like France and the Netherlands, but it’s one of Europe’s best kept secrets. Because of its history, Belgium is linguistically and culturally diverse; it’s also small and compact, so visitors can travel to multiple destinations with ease.
As options for the traditional chalet ski break have dwindled and prices risen, venturing to Europe’s far corners and beyond for a ski break can reap rewards. Costs are often lower, while luxury accommodation can be similarly priced to budget options in mainstream European ski resorts. As well as being potentially cheaper, skiing in territory off the beaten track can offer a rich cultural experience, plus better flight routes, less crowded slopes, sunnier days and a friendlier welcome.
Moving to a new country can be daunting, especially if you don’t speak the language.
When people think about beers in New York City, most people think of the buzzy craft breweries of Brooklyn and yes, they are excellent but one of the best places to drink in NYC is in lower Manhattan, where excellent beer bars are mere blocks from each other and you can enjoy yourself with a semi-relaxed NYC style of quiet that the East and West Village, The Bowery and Alphabet City neighborhoods afford. Here are some of my favorite places in drink in Lower Manhattan.
In Britain, the Sunday roast is sacrosanct. Gathering together around a beautifully cooked joint of meat, with lashings of gravy, vegetables and billowing Yorkshire puddings, is, for many, the weekend’s social highlight. And where better to do to this than the pub? Not only do you avoid the washing-up but, centuries after the French dubbed Brits les rosbifs, you get to enjoy the roast at its most modern. In recent decades, Britain’s best pub chefs have, by focusing on seasonal ingredients, rare-breed meats and painstaking preparations of roast potatoes or root vegetables, brought a fresh glamour to this Sunday afternoon ritual.
