The 100 Best Restaurants for Groups in Canada list was generated from more than 275,000 restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between November 1, 2014, and October 31, 2015. All restaurants with a minimum number of qualifying reviews and “overall” rating were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of qualifying reviews for which “good for groups” was selected as a special feature.
