It’ll also help to get them on the list next year. In order to be considered for rating by our critics for the magazine, a restaurant needs to have done one of the following: been reviewed by a reader on our site in the last year; been one of the 1000 most popular restaurants on our site (i.e. the 1000 listings that have been viewed the most by visitors to eatout.co.za over the past year); been included in the 2017 Eat Out 500; been nominated for inclusion by one or more of our panel of critics; or come to the attention of the editorial team, editor or critics during the period of magazine production through word of mouth, personal experience etc. (This includes new restaurants.)

These numerous opportunities (that don’t include advertising on our site or in the magazine ? ) ensure that both restaurants whose listings are often visited and engaged with by readers, as well as those which are highly regarded by our professional critics, are considered for inclusion.

After the rating process, the restaurants with the highest average ratings (scored out of 10) are shortlisted for the Eat Out 500. Eat Out’s panel of critics is then commissioned to travel to all corners of the country to review these shortlisted restaurants professionally. It is these reviews and more comprehensive ratings (for food and drinks, ambience and service, each out of 10) that ultimately decide the top 500 restaurants from that list to be included in the magazine.

We then share some of those that made it as lists on our site – which is how these places were picked.

Hope that makes sense? If you think we’ve missed a spot that should be on the list – write them a review! It’s a surefire way of ensuring that they’ll be considered next year ?
