The Top 100 Places to Eat in Baltimore

The best places to eat in Baltimore, by the professional record: Sprudgie Awards, AAA, and James Beard Awards have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Bitty & Beau’s Coffee comes out on top.

Charleston and La Cuchara hold the next two places. Baltimore Magazine shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Baltimore Beat close behind.

Categories







  1. Rank 7. Alma Cocina Latina

    Venezuelan Caribbean






  2. Rank 12. Ammoora

    Syrian Middle Eastern







  3. Rank 12. NiHao

    Contemporary Chinese








  4. Rank 25. The Wren

    Irish American





  5. Rank 27. Gunther & Co.

    Modern New American



  6. Rank 27. Magdalena

    Chesapeake Seafood



  7. Rank 27. Peter's Inn

    Mediterranean







  8. Rank 36. Preserve

    American

    A small Annapolis dining room built around pickling and fermentation, which sounds like a thesis until the food arrives. The roast chicken is beautifully bronzed, the steak-frites comes with kimchi-beef jus, and the crab salad on hash browns is the kind of thing that makes you forgive everyone their restaurant concepts. The bar earns equal attention. A Washingtonian top-100 pick.


  9. Rank 40. Peter Chang

    Creative Chinese












  10. New York-style pies with a slightly puffed, almost Neapolitan edge are the calling card at this pizzeria in Baltimore's Little Italy. The dough is made by hand, the ingredients skew Italian, and the menu rounds out with salads and baked fillings. The family behind it rebuilt after Katrina, which perhaps explains why the place feels like it has something to prove. Ranked 44th on 50 Top Pizza USA.


  11. Rank 52. Ananda

    Modern Indian



  12. Rank 52. Cinghiale

    Italian





  13. Rank 52. Linwoods

    Modern New American



  14. Rank 52. Peerce's

    Modern Indian







  15. Rank 52. Tagliata

    Tuscan Steakhouse
