Thessaly Greek Taverna leads the ranking: it is the venue whose dish reviewers write about most, with a 8.4/10 BearMenu grade. The ranking refreshes periodically as new reviews come in.
The order comes from the number of reviews praising this specific dish at each venue — the number shown under every entry — not from the overall grade, so an excellent restaurant that merely lists the dish does not outrank a specialist. Only venues with a displayed BearMenu grade (1–10, distilled from reviews) make the list, one per brand. Positions are not for sale and the ranking carries no ads.
