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.

House rules for eating here

  • Ask whether service is included before adding a tip.
  • Many kitchens close between lunch and dinner: eat by 14:00 or after 18:00.
