ABOUT THE GUIDE:
The City Style and Living Seal of Excellence is awarded to restaurants on the basis of culinary prowess, service, achievement in technique, creativity, and ambiance.
The award is judged by a team of professionals at City Style and Living magazine, who have scoured the globe looking for those restaurants, chefs, sommeliers and food of distinction.
This prestigious honour is awarded to select restaurants and institutions that shine above the rest and merit a visit.
