How the Guide works.
A world of restaurants worth travelling for, in one place — editorially rated, mapped, and easy to filter. Here's how to read it and what each rating means.
Using the Guide
Two views of the same thing — a live map and a filterable list of every restaurant on our radar. Nothing behind a login; browse it all freely.

Narrow it down however you think about going out:

The rating system
Every place carries one Heart The Dish rating — awarded, never bought. From our highest honour down to a featured pick:
Awarded, never bought.
What the price symbols mean
A quick read on what a typical visit costs — general guidance, relative to each city, not a fixed band.
Budget
Casual, easy on the wallet.
Moderate
An everyday sit-down.
Upscale
A step up — an occasion.
Premium
Fine dining.
The Heart The Dish Guide is fully independent. Every Heart is awarded — not bought.
