Restaurants In Europe

/PRNewswire/ -- Following the Top 100 U.S.

Restaurants, and Top Cheap Eats (artisanal and traditional) lists, comes the Top

100 European Restaurants from Opinionated About Dining. Steve Plotnicki and

Opinionated About Dining have refined the more than 70,000 reviews, compiled

by over 3,000 people, to reveal

Europe

's best dining.

The Opinionated About Dining approach to rating restaurants relies on tapping

into the experience and opinions from diners who are passionate about where

they eat and who describe how strongly they would recommend a restaurant

and why. The methodology further gives weight to different kinds of

restaurants and survey participants based on factors such as price point and

number of restaurants reviewed. The surveys that form the basis of the ratings

are open to the general public and can be accessed via Opinionated About

Dining.

"Opinionated About Dining is a consumer-based survey, says Plotnicki. "Our

contributors share in detail their likes, dislikes and experiences. The compilation

of first person feedback is what created our list of Top 100 Restaurants in

Europe

. Within the rankings are some interesting findings – close to 50% of the

restaurants serve modern/progressive cuisine, which shows a shift in the

preference and demographic of the diners." Plotnicki continues, describing the

survey's participants as "trending toward younger, more adventurous eaters

that value the traditions of classic cooking, but are looking for new, thought-

provoking experiences in dining."
