The method

What goes into a score

Four ingredients, weighed the same way in every city. The total lands on a 60 to 100 scale, so a score reads like a grade.

25 PTS

Critics

Michelin and the national guides like Guía Repsol. We take the stronger verdict.

20 PTS

Ranked lists

World's 50 Best, Opinionated About Dining and the regional lists, with credit for showing up on several.

25 PTS

Our meal

Where we have paid and eaten: our own score out of 10. Old meals count half.

5 PTS

Momentum

A new star, a promotion or a big debut in the last twelve months.

Read the meter

The needle is the Forkmeter score. Each dot is one guide or list, placed on the same 60 to 100 scale. Dots bunched by the needle mean everyone agrees. Dots spread out means the critics are split, and our meal breaks the tie.

Why Forkmeter

Built for people who plan around dinner

i.

One number, not five tabs

Stop cross-checking Michelin, the 50 Best, OAD and a dozen blogs. The blend is the point, and every source is shown.

ii.

Dated and rescored

Every ranking shows its date. When a guide changes, we rescore and say what moved.

iii.

Nobody pays to be here

No sponsored places, no paid listings. We pay for our own meals, and we tell you what we'd skip.
