Audit trail
How this ranking was built
Boundary. De Pijp is the core. Rivierenbuurt and the western edge of Oost were admitted only when they are plausible by foot or a short bike ride. De Kas is the explicit edge case; Everything for Lunch is shown at its current Rivierenbuurt address after moving from the location described on Reddit.
Counting rule. A named user’s first-person recommendation, positive report, or unambiguous agreement counts once per venue across the entire corpus, case-insensitively. A user may endorse several venues. The ranking uses distinct (username, venue) pairs—not upvotes, comment totals, star ratings, or repeated mentions.
Exclusions. Deleted/unknown users, hearsay, questions, neutral mentions, bot comments, duplicates, and negative or ambiguous comments were excluded. Mooshka was removed after closure checks; Sir Hummus and Deli-caat were excluded because the relevant branches moved outside scope; dinner-first Mangiancora and De Pizzabakkers were excluded because regular lunch availability does not fit the guide.
Why “verified minimum.” Reddit did not expose every username or full comment consistently, and no inaccessible mention was backfilled from upvotes or search snippets. The totals are therefore auditable lower bounds—not a citywide popularity poll.
Branches, hours and map
Address, operating status and regular hours were checked on 9 September 2026. Official venue pages were preferred; current local tourism, map, or directory pages are labeled where no useful official hours page existed. Generic Roopram praise is mapped to its current Oude Pijp branch and disclosed as brand-level support. Map placement is approximate and every marker links to the exact current address.
