To come up with the scores, the organisers behind ‘La Liste’ gather reviews of more than 600 guidebooks, ask the opinions of several thousands of chefs, calculate the review scores of restaurants weighted according to the trustworthiness of guidebooks and, finally, integrate customer reviews to come up with the final ranking.
