What is the Must-Try Badge?

The Must-Try Badge is awarded to restaurants that deliver exceptional food worth planning a trip around. Not just “good” or “nice,” but truly memorable.

How Restaurants Earn It

Must-Try restaurants meet all of these criteria:

  • Food Quality: Dishes are expertly prepared with high-quality ingredients. You can taste the difference.
  • Worth The Effort: Whether it’s a 2-hour drive, a weekend trip, or planning your Saturday around dinner here, the experience justifies it.
  • Memorable: Weeks later, you’re still thinking about that dish. It stands out from the crowd.
  • Consistency: Multiple visits (when possible) confirm quality isn’t a one-time thing.
  • Cannot Be Bought: The badge is never for sale. We don’t accept payment, free meals, or sponsorships. Our reviews are 100% honest.
