The Critic List gathers the restaurants featured on published critics’ lists — The New York Times, the MICHELIN Guide, the James Beard Foundation, Eater, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times, and more — into one free app: 3,114 restaurants from 141 lists by 66 publications. We don’t write the lists — the critics do. Every place links back to the original article; publisher rankings and review text are never reproduced.
Where the critics agree (featured on four or more major lists): San Francisco: Benu (4 lists) · Quince (4 lists) · Rintaro (4 lists) · The Progress (4 lists). New York: Atomix (4 lists) · Jungsik (4 lists) · Semma (4 lists).

The Critic List — the critics’ “best restaurants” lists, in one place. We don’t write the lists; the critics do, and every one links back to the original.
