Twelve renowned judges from Cyprus and Greece, after a thorough research, initially selected 100 restaurants that represent the culinary scene of Cyprus, regardless of their type of cuisine, from taverns to fine dining restaurants, and with constructive discussions they came up with a short list with 70 restaurants. The judges since last summer have anonymously and unannounced tried a number of representative dishes from these restaurants and graded against fixed criteria, creating the ultimate list of Cypriot restaurants for 2022.
The criteria are based on corresponding leading institutions abroad, with which WiZ GUIDE came into contact and acquired know-how, and are based on: Taste result / Professionalism and creativity of the chef / Emphasis on quality raw materials / Value-price ratio / Space aesthetics and service.

The score of the judges was placed electronically in the WiZ GUIDE system created with a special algorithm for this purpose and based on the parameters that were set the final average was displayed for each restaurant automatically. Through this methodology, the 50 BEST Restaurants were selected among 1667 Restaurant in the island.
