Where to look

Disclosure. Some venues on this page are LocalEnhance clients or paid placements, and each one is labelled as such on its card. Position in this list is set by our editorial score and is never sold.

2 A hamburger restaurant in Quezon City. Holding 4.7 over 780 ratings is harder than posting a higher number on a thin count, and it is why this sits where it does on our index.

Makati, BGC, Quezon City. Each has its own ranked page, and we add more as we can verify enough venues to make a list meaningful.
Each venue gets an editorial score from a Bayesian average weighing its Google rating against the number of people who rated it. That stops a 4.7 from 50 reviews outranking a 4.4 from 635, which is the more reliable result. No commercial relationship affects position.
No. Some venues are LocalEnhance clients or paid placements and each is labelled on its card, with rel="sponsored" on paid outbound links. Position itself is not for sale.
Every rating on the site was pulled from Google Places on 27 July 2026 and each venue was confirmed as still trading. The check re-runs monthly.
A venue comes off the list when Google reports it permanently closed, or when we cannot resolve it to a real trading business. Both checks run on every monthly rebuild.
