Which Culinary Guides and Cities Are Covered on Dolici?
Updated
Dolici aggregates acclaimed restaurants and bars from multiple major culinary guides into a single map, covering 110,000+ venues across 22 guides. If a venue has been recognized by a leading guide, it appears on Dolici — the platform does not publish its own reviews but instead consolidates recognition from established authorities.
Culinary Guides Covered
Dolici pulls listings from the world's most recognized restaurant and bar guides. According to the platform, these include:
- Michelin — including starred restaurants (e.g., 3-star venues like Smyth in Chicago, Quince in San Francisco, and Piazza Duomo in Alba)
- World's 50 Best
- James Beard
- OAD (Opinionated About Dining) — e.g., OAD Top 40, Top 60, Top 80, Top 100, Top 110 rankings
- La Liste — with numeric scores (e.g., 99.5/100 for Matsukawa in Tokyo)
Dolici states that "nowhere else aggregates all of them," positioning itself as a cross-reference tool that eliminates the need to check Michelin, World's 50 Best, and food blogs separately. The platform currently aggregates 22 guides and notes that this list is growing.
Cities and Destinations Covered
Dolici highlights several "culinary capitals" — award-winning destinations worth traveling for — with the number of awards recorded in each:
| City | Awards |
|---|---|
| New York City | 10,595 |
| Tokyo | 6,673 |
| Osaka-shi | 1,275 |
| Seoul | 1,001 |
These figures are aggregated from the world's leading guides. The platform notes that many more destinations are included beyond these featured capitals.

What This Means for Users
Dolici is designed for travelers who want to browse a new city before arriving or discover acclaimed venues in their own neighborhood. Because every venue has been validated by at least one leading guide, the platform filters out unverified listings. The aggregation approach means you can see, for example, that a Bangkok bar holds an OAD Top 40 ranking while a Macau restaurant holds Michelin 3 Stars — all without cross-referencing multiple guide websites.
The platform offers free sign-up to access the full map, save venues, and plan trips. It also sends updates about new guide additions and notable openings.
