In our 40-plus
years of writing about dining, during
which we helped coin the phrase
"Nouvelle
Cuisine," we have compiled
one of the largest restaurant review
databases in the world. Every day, as
we add more entries, we are happy to
share our thousands of
reviews with you free of
charge. But once a year, we stop,
re-examine the
best of the best, and compile
our list of the top 40 restaurants in
the country. Of course, our choices are
subjective, but we're honest, fair, and
— unlike some dining websites — take no
restaurant advertising. It was
seventeen years ago that we first
selected the
Top 40 Restaurants in the
U.S., and we're pleased to
see seven of those fine restaurants —
including
Le Bec-Fin,
Charlie Trotter’s and
The Inn at Little
Washington — are still
at the top of their game. Compare our
old and new lists, but remember:
although we’re interested in trends,
décor and decorum, our ratings are
based solely on the food. And if you
want to write about your favorite
eateries, why not join our
Community and publish
your thoughts on our
forums?
Bon appétit!
