Blue Ribbon Survey: 2025 Best Restaurants in the Nation
Blue Ribbon Survey: 2025 Best Restaurants in the Nation
Description
Book Introduction
Korea's first restaurant guide, 『Blue Ribbon Survey』, presents the 2025 edition of 『Gourmet Restaurants Across the Country』 this year.
Published since 2007, "Blue Ribbon Survey: Best Restaurants Nationwide" celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, introducing high-quality restaurants by region across the country, excluding Seoul, based on the reviews of over 30,000 readers each year.
Seoul's Best Restaurants is published separately in the second half of each year, and celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.

The number of restaurants included in the 2025 edition was 3,782, a decrease of 5 from 3,787 in 2024.
This year in particular, two restaurants, Palette in Busan and White Christmas in Cheongju, were selected as Three Ribbon Restaurants, marking the first time in seven years that a restaurant outside of Seoul has received the award.
There are 140 two-ribbon restaurants, the same as in the 2024 edition, and 1,526 one-ribbon restaurants, an increase of 122 from the 2024 edition.

In Part 1, you can find the best restaurants in the country that received three ribbons and recommended restaurants that received two ribbons. In Part 2, you can easily find the restaurants you want by region and alphabetically.
[Blue Ribbon Restaurant Certification Stickers] are distributed to establishments included in the booklet 『Tastes of the Nation』.

The 2025 edition of 『National Gourmet』 was selected based on a new evaluation method introduced in 2019.
Previously, three ribbon restaurants were selected through evaluations by the Blue Ribbon Knights, a panel of expert judges, among the two ribbon restaurants selected through the readers' first evaluation, but starting with the 2019 edition, the evaluations will be based solely on readers' evaluations instead of expert evaluations.
This is because the accumulated reader evaluations since 2005 have begun to converge year after year toward the same results as the expert evaluation panel.
"Blue Ribbon Survey: Nationwide Gourmet" will satisfy readers who enjoy gourmet food by providing a comprehensive overview of carefully selected, renowned restaurants from across the country.

Publisher's Review
Korea's first restaurant review book

In any international metropolis, there's a world-class food guidebook showcasing the city's culinary offerings.
Blue Ribbon Survey is Korea's first and best restaurant review book, on par with these guidebooks.
Blue Ribbon Survey, which began in 2005 in an environment where the foundation for professional food reviews was weak and standards for evaluating taste were vague, has established objective restaurant evaluation standards in Korea based on evaluations accumulated over 20 years.

Blue Ribbon Survey is the first in Korea to adopt a survey method that gathers multiple opinions, thereby collecting more objective data.
Many readers are participating in the evaluation of the Blue Ribbon Survey conducted through our own website.

Blue Ribbon Survey promises to consistently provide content that contributes to the development of Korean gastronomy, based on fair evaluations from our readers.
Detailed information on how to participate in the Blue Ribbon Survey can be found at www.blueR.co.kr.

Blue Ribbon Survey operates a mobile app and mobile site where readers can participate in surveys.
By accessing the Blue Ribbon app or website, you can search all the restaurants included in the Blue Ribbon Survey booklet (including Seoul and nationwide editions) and rate the restaurants you have visited.
The Blue Ribbon app or website emphasizes the search function, allowing for real-time and multi-search, making it more convenient to search for restaurants than reading a book.

You can also search for over 10,000 restaurants, including over 5,000 restaurants worth visiting that weren't included in the booklet.

The Blue Ribbon app is also available for download from the Android App Store (Google Play) and the Apple App Store.

Each year, when a new Blue Ribbon Survey is released, reader reviews made on the Blue Ribbon app or website are reflected, and readers who participate in the evaluation are given a copy of the newly released book as a gift.
