Opinionated About Dining

Opinionated About Dining represents the crowd-sourced alternative in restaurant rankings—thousands of registered diners vote on where they've eaten, and OAD aggregates those opinions into annual lists. The organization publishes separate rankings for fine dining and casual restaurants across different regions. If you're comparing it to other guides: OAD skews toward the preferences of serious dining enthusiasts rather than professional critics, which means the lists often feature different restaurants than Michelin or Pellegrino. The 2025 edition includes regional rankings like the Casual in Asia list.
