Canada’s Best New Restaurants 2007Mission Statement | Panelists | Past Winners | 2007 Winners | 2007 Next 20 | Home enRoute’s Mission Statement: Canada’s Best New Restaurants Survey “enRoute’s best new restaurants advance the Canadian culinary identity; they are places where the overall dining experience will have a lasting and significant impact on our restaurant culture.” enRoute’s Canada’s Best New Restaurants (published each November) are selected each summer based on restaurant openings in the previous 12 months (from July 1 of the previous year to June 30 of the year in which the awards are given*). Each spring, a panel of approximately 40 media members and food experts from across the country recommend new openings in their respective cities/regions. After extensive research – including consulting restaurant reviews, restaurateur credentials and the menus themselves – enRoute shortlists approximately 30 restaurants for its critics to visit. An enRoute critic dines anonymously at each of these establishments at least once. Meals are three-course with accompanying wine. enRoute pays in full for all meals. Consideration is not given in the survey to advertising or any other commercial concerns in the selection process. Results are kept strictly confidential and are under media embargo until enRoute announces them at a press conference shortly before the November 1 release of the November issue. *enRoute reserves the right to extend this period to before the July 1 deadline of the previous year to include restaurants that were overlooked in the previous year’s survey.
