How we rank
Nobody at Guide2 scores the food. The ranking adds up what Crozet’s own judges have said in public: readers’ polls count most, then critics’ standing lists, then local press and food writers. Every point is numbered and listed under Sources below. The full method.
When our editor has eaten at these herself, her picks and notes appear at the top of this page.
