Yelp published its list of “most photographed restaurants” between January 2022 and June 2023.
The list includes four Las Vegas restaurants — with Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen in the top spot.
The 25 restaurants have received overwhelmingly positive reviews of food and “vibes,” Yelp says.
Whether they’re stopping in for a drink with a view, or ordering a vibrant plate, there are 25 restaurants that Yelp reviews can’t help but snap picture in this year.
An August list from Yelp revealed the US-based restaurants where users most frequently uploaded photos between January 2022 and the end of June 2023.
Some of the eateries have ties to celebrities — like Gordon Ramsay and Lisa Vanderpump — while others are well-known for their food and curated vibes alone. To keep it balanced, Yelp said, each state was limited to only five entries on the list.
Many of the restaurants are located in tourist hotspots like New York City, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. They include “hole-in-the-wall” joints and fine dining.
Here are Yelp’s Top 25 places where diners have most uploaded pictures. Ratings are as of early September.
