Version 6.0 by Name

Best Restaurants in Los Angeles!

Here is version 6.0 of my meta-analysis that it incorporates the most recent versions the following lists:

• Jonathan Gold 101
• Los Angeles Magazine 75 Best Restaurants
• LA Weekly 99 Essential Restaurants
• Eater LA Essential 38
• Zagat ratings of  25+
• Gayot ratings of 14+

Restaurants still need to appear on more two or more separate lists to qualify. Yelp! ratings are also incorporated into the score of qualifying restaurants.

If you're interested, here are the methodology and raw data with all the original rankings and scores for those restaurants making two or more lists.

Meta-score is given as percentage of the maximum. Stars are my personal rating.

I add these scores to come up with a Final Composite Score sorted by My Personal Rating for the restaurants I've visited.
