NEWPORT – Bouchard Restaurant and Inn made OpenTable’s list of the 100 best restaurants for foodies in America.
Bouchard, described as a contemporary French restaurant, was the only Rhode Island restaurant on the list, which featured eateries from 30 states and the District of Columbia.
“These standout restaurants are delicious destinations for the most passionate eaters – those for whom dining out is practically sport,” Caroline Potter, OpenTable chief dining officer, said in a statement. “Using ingredients both humble and exotic, and drawing culinary inspiration from around the globe, this year’s honorees consistently offer thrilling experiences sure to please even the most discerning diners.”
OpenTable evaluated more than 5 million restaurant reviews submitted to its website between Aug. 1, 2015, and July 31 to come up with the list. All restaurants with a minimum “overall” score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of qualifying reviews for which “fit for foodies” was selected as a special feature, according to the online restaurant reservation site.
Massachusetts has two restaurants on the list – Boston’s O Ya, a Japanese restaurant, and Cambridge’s The Table at Season To Taste, a contemporary French-American restaurant.
California has the most winning restaurants at 17, followed by New York with nine, Pennsylvania with eight, Virginia with six, and Illinois and New Jersey with five each.
