Guide methodology & original resources

About the images and map

The rooftop scene and several cuisine images are editorial illustrations. Food cards use cuisine imagery, not verified photographs of the listed restaurants. District images show archive neighbourhood or building context. Images do not establish a venue’s view, menu or facilities.

Map reference points come from the existing restaurant map. They include venue, area and example-branch points; several listings share a location. OpenStreetMap provides the basemap.
