  40. Rank 1040. Black+Blue

    Steakhouse


  41. The old Model Milk Dairy building on 17th gives this lively restaurant its name and its bones, with an open, industrial feel softened by a genuinely buzzy room. The menu changes every couple of weeks, pulling from local and regional producers, so there's no such thing as a regular order. Desserts lean into the building's dairy past with ice cream making an appearance. The wine and cocktail list is well considered.

  45. Rank 1042. La Banane

    French

    Leather banquettes, brass fixtures, and a room full of people who clearly planned their outfit around the reservation: La Banane is a French bistro on Ossington that leans into the romance of it all without apology. The kitchen plays with classic French forms, pairing one of the city's more ambitious raw bars with a cooking style that wanders toward yuzu and other detours. The banana cake with salted caramel ice cream has its own cult following.

  68. Surf photography covers the walls and the blue décor commits hard to the bit at this Hawaiian comfort food spot on Macleod Trail. The menu leans into plate lunches, poke, Spam musubi, and huli huli chicken, with tropical cocktails that come alcohol-free if you'd rather. It's the kind of casual, shareable-plates place where the servers know the menu cold and nobody's in a hurry to rush you out.

  74. A massive stone fireplace anchors the main room of this wood-paneled chalet steakhouse, which has been warming up Banff visitors in a 1930s building long enough to feel like part of the mountain itself. The menu splits its loyalties between Alberta beef and classic Swiss-style fondue, which is a more charming combination than it sounds. Come hungry, come in layers, and don't skip the cheesy doughnuts.

  82. Family-style Italian in Niagara Falls, where the kitchen sends wave after wave of antipasto, pasta, and pizza to the table until everyone goes quiet. Think of it as a buffet that comes to you, which is a more civilized arrangement than anyone usually manages at a buffet. Solo diners or smaller appetites can order from the regular menu instead. The send-off is a little box of biscotti for the drive home, which is a genuinely Italian move.

  93. Rank 1066. KAMA

    Creative Mediterranean

    A stylish Mediterranean small-plates restaurant where the mezze menu is designed for mixing, matching, and ordering one more round before you've decided you're done. The room leans into cool lighting and a central bar that keeps things lively, and the cocktail list holds its own alongside the food. The crowd skews toward people who know how to split a bill twelve ways without drama.

  98. Servers in white jackets move through a room of crisp linens and glass chandeliers, which tells you everything about the register before you've opened the menu. This is a polished Italian dining room with a short, focused menu that runs from whipped ricotta bruschetta through gourmet pastas to lobster risotto and a pistachio-crusted lamb rack. The wine list leans Italian, and the cocktail program covers both the spirited and the sober.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
