Every restaurant on My Treats is independently researched and reviewed on how it sources, cooks, and cares. This page is the whole method, in plain terms.
Prefer the full methodology? Read it here →Public sources, the guides, and the kitchen's own answers. Menus, suppliers, certifications, recognitions: everything that can be read goes into the file.
Six practices, each scored against the evidence. A claim that cannot be shown does not count, and when the evidence could support two levels, the lower one is assigned.
Every profile shows its impact score, the practices behind it, and the evidence on the record. Send the link, compare, book the table.
The same six, for every restaurant, every time. No cherry-picking.
Where ingredients come from, and how directly they reach the kitchen.
Cooking that follows the calendar, not the freezer.
What the kitchen does so that good food is not thrown away.
How animal products are chosen, and how much of the menu leans on them.
How the kitchen treats its people and its neighbourhood.
How much of the menu lets vegetables lead the plate.
A seventh practice, the health-intentional kitchen, is reported alongside these six. It never counts into the impact score.
The practices roll up into the SEERO scale: Starting, Engaged, Endorsed, Recognised, Outstanding. At least two practices must be credibly covered before any score is awarded, and the score follows the evidence, never the marketing. Earned, not flattered.
Each finding on a profile is tagged with how strongly it is backed, so you always know whether something is the kitchen's own word or independently confirmed.
The kitchen says so.
Found and read in public sources.
Parts confirmed by a third party.
Independently confirmed, end to end.
Stronger evidence weighs heavier in the score. Weaker evidence is still shown, honestly labelled.
Restaurants can't pay for a place in the guide or a better score. Payment never influences scores: the badge means something because nobody paid for it.
