Frequently asked questions
- What are the best-known cafes in Australia?
- It depends where in Australia: in Melbourne, Pellegrini's Espresso Bar; in Sydney, Toby's Estate Chippendale. Each is currently #1 on its own city's list — lists aren't merged across cities, since each city's list ranks different places.
- How do rankings work?
- Every list starts from entries AutoCurator, our automated curator, researched from public sources. From there any signed-in member can add a place, cast a vote, or start a new list, and the order updates as votes come in. Votes are only ever compared within a single list, never merged across different cities or lists.
