Two cities, seven criteria, one winner
City Duel
Paris against New York, Marbella against Ibiza, Munich against Vienna: compare two dining cities on fine dining, scene, seafood, steak, views, value and wine.
Every city in the guide carries seven scores from 0 to 100: the density and quality of its fine dining, the energy of its scene, seafood, steak and grills, views and terraces, value for money and wine culture. The duel lays two cities over each other on a radar, counts the criteria each wins and names the biggest difference.
The scores are editorial judgements by the gourmaris team, based on the restaurants in the guide, price levels and the cities’ traditions. They are meant to start arguments, not end them.
Frequently asked questions
Who decides the scores?
The gourmaris editorial team, from the restaurants in the guide, the price levels and each city’s traditions. They are opinions with a method.
Can I compare more than two cities?
Not in the duel, but the Dinner Budget compares all nineteen on price and the cities page ranks them by our overall index.
Why does Paris score 100 on fine dining?
Because it is the reference: more three-star restaurants than any other city and the tradition every other kitchen measures itself against.
