  1. A wrap-around terrace and sliding patio doors make this fine dining room in downtown Oakville feel more like a smart summer evening than a white-tablecloth ordeal. The menu reads straightforward, beef tartare, oysters, pasta, but the kitchen turns each into something careful and considered. A Michelin star hangs over the whole thing, and the optional tasting menu is where the chef's ambitions come through most clearly.

  3. Rank 3. 7 Enoteca

    Italian Wine Bar

    Wood-burning ovens and banquettes that make every seat feel like a corner booth set the tone at this Italian wine bar in downtown Oakville. It's a sleek neighborhood spot where the pizzas come out blistered and puffy-edged, pasta leans toward things like trecce with crab, and the whole room moves with the low-key confidence of a place that doesn't need to prove anything. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and easy to see why the locals never quite leave.

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.
