The reservations app unveiled the top 100 restaurants in Canada based on diner ratings and reviews to let you know which spots are tried, tested and beloved by fellow foodies across the country.

The list is based on "over 1.1 million OpenTable diner reviews and using dining metrics including diner ratings, percentage of reservations made in advance, and five-star reviews," they shared.
