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.

Walk times are straight-line estimates (×1.3 for streets, 5 km/h); “(area)” means the cluster centre, not the door. Diet “ask” means possible with care; Voykit has not tested cross-contact.

House rules for eating here

  • Eat where the turnover is fast and the food is hot.
  • Do not order bushmeat; it is illegal for endangered species and a health risk.
