Picks are computed from Voykit's own fields (walk-in windows, seating, diet, price band, booking). A place already picked for one category is passed over for the next when another qualifies; price-based picks never are. A category without a qualifying place is left out rather than filled.

  • Eat where the turnover is fast and the fish is on ice.
  • Cash for stalls and harbour grills.
  • Ramadan closes many places in daylight.
