Launched in 2015 by Ambassador Philippe Faure, La Liste, a French awards program,  uses an algorithm to analyze restaurant reviews worldwide, compiling scores from diverse sources, including newspapers, guidebooks and online reviews from 200 countries  to provide a comprehensive assessment of dining experiences.
La Liste gauges the credibility of guidebooks and reviews by canvassing the insights of thousands of chefs. These  experts not only share their perspectives on the legitimacy of the reviews but also contribute their personal evaluations of a restaurant’s worth.
It wasn’t just Toronto that excelled; restaurants from 12 other Canadian cities also earned a spot on the list. These included Cambridge and Lincoln in Ontario,  Vancouver and Banff  in British Columbia, Montreal and Calgary.
Seven establishments worldwide share the coveted number one spot with a top score of 99.5. These include Le Bernardin in NYC, Guy Savoy in Paris, Simon Rogan’s L’Enclume in the UK, La Vague D’Or in Saint-Tropez, Schwarzwaldstube in Germany, Sushi Saito in Tokyo and Lung King Heen in Hong Kong
