OpenTable just revealed Canada's best 100 restaurants according to diners, and there were so many Toronto spots on the list to check out this holiday season.

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.

So, if you're looking for a spot to have a nice dinner with your friends and family this holiday season, this list is a great place to start.

Overall, there were 41 Ontario restaurants, 20 in British Columbia, 19 in Alberta, 16 in Quebec and 3 in Nova Scotia that were mentioned in 2023's OpenTable list.
