## What is byChefs?

The first restaurant ranking created by chefs. byChefs is a chef-curated guide to the world's best restaurants — ranked, reviewed, and recommended by the people who know food best: working chefs.

• Explore the annual city ranking, from the top spot down
• Follow your favourite chefs and see exactly where they eat
• Ask the AI concierge for a personal recommendation — steak tonight, a quiet brunch spot, or a dark cocktail bar
• Save restaurants to collections and plan your visits

Cities are curated by an independent jury of chefs. No ads, no pay-to-play — just the places chefs actually rate.

Coming soon: more cities, seasonal rankings, and the awards ceremony.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-30

A ranking is only as good as the people who make it. Ours is written by chefs who cook in these cities – the ones who know which table is worth the detour tonight.

What's better in this release:

• Tap a chef's quote on the home screen and it opens the restaurant behind it.
• Chefs Voted carries each chef's title and the place their verdict holds in the ranking.
• Saves land in your collections the moment you tap them, and a collection you build by hand appears as soon as you name it.
• The concierge knows the chefs behind the list, so a recommendation arrives with the person standing behind it.
• Sign in with Apple puts you back exactly where you left off — saved places, collections and every conversation you've had.

Dinner, but with a head start.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-09

Some of the best tables in the world don't advertise. They wait for someone in the know – a chef, a regular, a friend with a good memory.

That's the idea behind byChefs: a dining guide written by the people who actually cook in these cities, plus a concierge who turns "somewhere good tonight" into a real answer – the dish worth ordering, the table worth asking for, the neighborhood worth the detour.

This release lets the conversation breathe:

- Your concierge now stays with you between moments. Start a question, step away, and come back to a fully formed recommendation – as if it never stopped thinking.
- Discoveries feel closer: cities you love are easier to get back to, with your saved spots and favorite chefs right where you left them.

Dinner, but with a head start.
