We kicked off 2024 by looking at which restaurants in the Boise area are the Best of the Best. People wondered why there were no restaurants in Canyon County on that list. Simple! It’s because there are so many delicious places in the 2C that they deserved their own list.
In Ada County, there was a lot of variety on the list. From fine dining to sushi, Italian to coffee shops, seafood to barbecue there was something for every taste on the list. There’s a lot of variety in Canyon County too, but for the most part cruising in the 2C revolves around traditional American or Mexican foods that remind you of what grandma used to make. That’s a good thing! Who doesn’t love good home cooking?
How Were Restaurants Selected for the List?
There’s no doubt that our area is full of foodies who are VERY passionate about their favorites. You can tell that by reading the comment section in any of the foodie groups on Facebook that focus on our area. That’s why we believe in being transparent about these rankings. They come from TripAdvisor’s rating program that ranks restaurants on their star rating and the number of reviews from actual people. None of the ratings are paid sponsorships.

So what does that mean for you? Well, that means if your favorite didn’t make the list, you should take a couple seconds to pop over to TripAdvisor and leave them a positive review! The more people who sing the praises of our local businesses, the higher they climb. Maybe you’ll help your favorite make the list in 2025!
