For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Times

Chitra Ramaswamy was in Edinburgh considering the meteoric rise of veganism while eating at plant-based Leith restaurant Foodstory, which is a new sibling of the Aberdeen original.

It’s “a lovely welcoming café wrapped around a corner where others have failed to stick”; inside it’s “all giant paper lampshades, clean white interiors and a diverse clientele with tiny dogs”.

They produced a “solid vegan spin-off” of a BLT, and there were a few disappointments but “local independent cafés such as Foodstory are a vital force in the movement… I love what this vibey, upbeat BYOC café stands for”. (21/30)
