How to read the scores
What consensus actually means here.| Consensus | Simple average of Google, Yelp, and Tripadvisor scores, each converted to the 0–100 scale. A place that scores 90+ across all three is genuinely, durably good. One that scores 90 on Google and 60 on Yelp has a story to tell. |
|---|---|
| Accolades | Sourced from Harry's editorial enrichment pass — Michelin Guide inspection reports, JBF nomination archives, the World's 50 Best annual list, NYT's restaurant critics, and Eater's city editors. These are cross-matched against the restaurants table, not self-reported. |
| What's missing | Harry's database isn't complete. Award-winning restaurants outside the eight core cities are under-represented. A missing restaurant is a gap in coverage, not a judgment. |
From the marginalia
Observations, filed as they occur.- Critics dine once, on best behaviour. Harry's score aggregates thousands of dinners on ordinary Tuesdays.
- A Michelin star says the inspectors went back. A high Harry score says the public agrees. Both together is a short list.
- A World's 50 Best ranking is marketing for twelve months. The Yelp rating is what's left after.
- Not all Michelin-listed restaurants have a Yelp page. Absence of data is also data.
- The James Beard Foundation has been wrong before. So has Harry. The overlap is where the confidence lives.
