According to Tripadvisor, the contenders are determined based on the quality and quantity of their reviews and ratings collected over the past year.

The results span four provinces in Canada, with the number one spot for fine dining going to Pluvio Restaurant in Ucluelet, B.C.

Another Niagara spot rounded out the top three. Tiara Restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake, which serves food made with the "farm-fresh flavours of the region," was rated highly by diners for its service, food and atmosphere, with restaurant-goers also noting the restaurant's lovely setting and scenic views.

Completing the top five are Five Sails Restaurant in Vancouver, which offers West Coast fare "inspired by British Columbia's ocean and coastal mountains," and Restaurant Taniere in Quebec City, which offers a "blind tasting menu" of contemporary Canadian cuisine inspired by history and Old Quebec.

Following them is Bouillon Bilk in Montreal, Laurie Raphael in Quebec City and Resto Tandem in La Malbaie, Quebec.
