Sarah Firshein, Head of Editorial at Tripadvisor commented, "Restaurants provide a great way for travelers to get immersed in a destination's history and culture. This year's Travelers' Choice Restaurant winners—whose diversity and geographic reach reflect the fact that the last remaining pandemic-era travel restrictions have lifted—are especially exciting. We know Tripadvisor travelers seek out first-hand intel and guidance, and that's exactly the spirit of these lists: All of our winners were selected not by professional food critics or editors, but by real diners who have left their feedback on Tripadvisor within the past year."
