Starworks ranks the 499 highest-rated restaurants in Australia, holding 36,799 Google reviews between them. Across those 499 the median rating is 5.0 stars from a median of 30 reviews. Of those 499, all are rated 4.5 or better and 90 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 1,748 reviews, more than the top-ranked restaurant holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.

How many restaurants does Starworks rank in Australia?
Starworks ranks the 499 highest-rated restaurants in Australia, holding 36,799 Google reviews between them. Across those 499 the median rating is 5.0 stars from a median of 30 reviews.

How does Starworks rank restaurants nationally?
To rank restaurants across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star restaurant with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 499 highest-rated restaurants in Australia is 5.0 stars from a median of 30 reviews.
Where can I find the best restaurants in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for restaurants in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my restaurant business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the restaurant category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of restaurants in Australia lists the top 50 of the 499 highest-rated restaurants; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
