OpenTable has revealed its list of the year’s top 100 Canadian restaurants, and 15 of those are from British Columbia.
The list is driven by diners, with the reservation platform using 2024 reviews to rank restaurants from around the country. The list, comprising restaurants from Alberta, B.C., Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Saskatchewan, is in no particular numerical order.
