These are Cleveland Magazine readers' favorite restaurants of the year.

The Last Page is this year's best new restaurant, but it's far from the only spot that impressed us over the past year.

We pay tribute to Lola Bistro, The Plum, Carrie Cerino's, Spice Kitchen & Bar and XO Prime Steaks.

By rethinking how they operate, Pub Frato, Zaytoon Lebanese Kitchen, Sauce The City, Rood Food & Pie and Bar Italia found new ways to do what they do best.

Gusto's Seafood & Chicken, Cilantro Taqueria, Domo Yakitori & Sushi and Citizen Pie Roman Cafe are elevating quick, comfortable eats.

With the opening of the new Warehouse District restaurant, the former personal chef is ready to wow the city with his interactive dishes.

Thyme Table's pastry chef has been serving up intricate delicacies and sweets for the last three years.

The COVID-19 pandemic jump-starts the ghost kitchen trend in Cleveland with options such as Good Meal Jane and Amba.

From Go Buddha Meals' walnut taco bowls to The Vegan Club's fettuccine Alfredo, we highlight four unique vegan dishes created by local kitchens.

The Roaming Biscuit and FatBoy Sammies are among area pop-ups finding success.

Victor Searcy Jr. from Sauce the City, Ricardo Sandoval from Fat Cats, Natasha Pogrebinsky from The South Side and Hi and Dry and Jamie Simpson from The Chef's Garden share their takes on the versatile vegetable.
