How this list is built
Chefi analyzes each restaurant’s menu and tags every dish’s dietary suitability with an ingredient-based engine. Restaurants with at least three matching dishes on their current menu rank first, ordered by diner ratings, with the number of matching dishes breaking ties; owner-verified restaurants are highlighted at the top. Lists refresh as menus and ratings change.
