So, if you look at the group of restaurants with the broadest support\u2013say the top 10\u2013you know first that a lot of judges find that their food offer is superlative. But there are a lot of different types of restaurants in that group.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s highly disciplined tasting menu-driven fine dining (Alo), there\u2019s a rural farm-to-table restaurant (Pearl Morissette), a posh country hotel restaurant (Langdon Hall), and there are others like Edulis and AnnaLena that started as neighbourhood restaurants aiming high\u2013and achieved that goal so convincingly that they became destination restaurants, organically.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s an overarching trend, it\u2019s embodied by the winner. The future of fine dining is not at all stuffy: it&#8217;s casual, but supported by exceptionally knowledgeable staff, inventive and utterly delicious food, and a strong local identity\u2013from ingredients to outlook. That\u2019s a very compelling mix.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1613692\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1613692\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1613692\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Food-PSP-Slice-prime-rib-14-oz-Photo-Credit-Daniel-Neuhaus.jpg\" alt=\"Canada's 100 Best Restaurants: Prime Rib on a plate\" width=\"600\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Food-PSP-Slice-prime-rib-14-oz-Photo-Credit-Daniel-Neuhaus.jpg 600w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Food-PSP-Slice-prime-rib-14-oz-Photo-Credit-Daniel-Neuhaus-320x414.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Food-PSP-Slice-prime-rib-14-oz-Photo-Credit-Daniel-Neuhaus-560x724.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1613692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Daniel Neuhaus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"share-some-of-the-top-trends-on-the-canadian-dining-scene\">Share some of the top trends on the Canadian dining scene?<\/h3>\n<p>Local identity is more important than ever. Nobody sensible wants to travel to a restaurant that offers some international experience that you could experience at any number of other places. As local ingredients improve, discriminating diners want to see more of them on the plate.<\/p>\n<p>People are responding to an evolving notion of fine dining\u2013less fuss and showmanship, and more substance. All these trends are positive, I think. And creating more memorable and worthwhile experiences for people who dine out\u2013which we all know is an expensive habit, albeit justified by great choices, like those on our new 2023 list.<\/p>\n<p>And now, drumroll please, as we reveal the complete list of Canada&#8217;s 100 Best Restaurants 2023:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1613694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1613694\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1613694\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mon-Lapin_QC-snow-crab-toast-and-beef-marrow-Photo-Credit-Dominique-Lafond-.jpg\" alt=\"Canada's 100 Best Restaurants: Snow Crab Toast and Beef Marrow\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mon-Lapin_QC-snow-crab-toast-and-beef-marrow-Photo-Credit-Dominique-Lafond-.jpg 600w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mon-Lapin_QC-snow-crab-toast-and-beef-marrow-Photo-Credit-Dominique-Lafond--320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mon-Lapin_QC-snow-crab-toast-and-beef-marrow-Photo-Credit-Dominique-Lafond--560x700.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1613694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snow Crab Toast and Beef Marrow &#8211; Photo Credit: Dominique Lafond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>1 Mon Lapin (Montreal)<br \/>\n2 Alo (Toronto)<br \/>\n3 Published (Vancouver)<br \/>\n4 Edulis (Toronto)<br \/>\n5 The Restaurant at Pearl Morissette (Jordan Station, ON)<br \/>\n6 St. Lawrence (Vancouver)<br \/>\n7 Langdon Hall (Cambridge)<br \/>\n8 Beba (Verdun)<br \/>\n9 AnnaLena (Vancouver)<br \/>\n10 Kissa Tanto (Vancouver)<br \/>\n11 20 Victoria (Toronto)<br \/>\n12 Bar Kismet (Halifax)<br \/>\n13 Major Tom (Calgary)<br \/>\n14 Giulia (Toronto)<br \/>\n15 Pichai (Montreal)<br \/>\n16 Monarque (Montreal)<br \/>\n17 Prime Seafood Palace (Toronto)<br \/>\n18 Canoe (Toronto)<br \/>\n19 Sushi Masaki Saito (Toronto)<br \/>\n20 Hawksworth (Vancouver)<br \/>\n21 Montr\u00e9al Plaza (Montreal)<br \/>\n22 River Caf\u00e9 (Calgary)<br \/>\n23 D.O.P.
