Search for a DiRōNA restaurant.

Restaurants that earn the DiRōNA Achievement of Distinction in Dining include all cuisines across the United States, Canada and Mexico in three distinct categories: Timeless Traditional, Creative Contemporary, and Legendary Landmark. These categories represent a wide variety of dining experiences, from “white tablecloth, white glove” service to casual, down-home dining. What distinguishes them all is a commitment to quality—the hallmark of our member restaurants.

Fewer than 800 restaurants have earned the right to call themselves a DiRōNA restaurant and display the Achievement of Distinction in Dining. To qualify, a restaurant must meet or exceed our exceptional standards, including passing a rigorous and anonymous third-party inspection that evaluates ambience, cuisine, service and check accuracy, among other criteria. Only those who pass on all levels are offered DiRōNA membership.
