The 2024 judging panel featured an all-time high of 150 voting judges – 20 more than 2023. Competing restaurants are judged by a panel of informed culinary enthusiasts, food writers and critics, chefs, restaurateurs and other food-service professionals.
Judges are spread throughout Canada, proportional to regional population size, and are required to visit and vote on a minimum of three restaurants outside of their home region. Restaurants are judged on the complete dining experience, including service, décor and food quality.
Calgary’s cocktail scene is also celebrating a win this year, with four bars featured on Canada’s 100 Best list of the country’s top 50 bars.
Proof landed the number 10 spot, a move forward from last year’s position at 11th. The other local bars on the list are Missy’s This That (13th), Rain Dog Bar (30th) and Paper Lantern (44th).
