The Deets
Yo, fam! Big news for all the foodies out there. Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list for 2025 just dropped, and Calgary's bringin' the heat! We got FIVE restaurants reppin' the city on the list. That's right, five!
Shoutout to DOPO, Shokunin, Nupo, Eight, and River Cafe for servin' up some seriously bussin' food. And Canmore's in the game too, with Ankor also making the list. Alberta's not playin' around, no cap.
Major props to Chef Darren MacLean, who's behind Shokunin, Nupo, and Eight. Dude's got the sauce, fr fr. Eight came in at number six, which is HUGE. Nupo at 30, and Shokunin at 74.
Oh, and DOPO? They didn't just make the main list, they also snagged the number four spot on the 100 Best New Restaurants list! Talk about a double win!
Now, how does this all go down? Well, 160 judges – food critics, chefs, industry peeps, the whole shebang – vote on their top restaurant experiences. They're lookin' at everything: the food, the vibes, the service, even the wine list. Then, they tally up the votes, and BOOM, you got the list.
And who took the top spot overall? Restaurant Pearl Morisette in Ontario. But Montreal is also flexin', with nearly a quarter of the restaurants on the list being from there!
Keep your eyes peeled for May 12th, when they drop the list for Canada's 100 Best Bars. Time to see who's got the most fire drinks!
