Methodology
To find the most Instagrammed restaurants in Europe, The Thinking Traveller said that it researched existing most popular Michelin star restaurants articles for each country and cross referenced them with the Michelin star guide to create seed lists. Experts then recorded the number of hashtags on Instagram attributed to each restaurant by searching for the restaurant’s name on Instagram. Once we had finalised the lists, they used that data to decipher the most Instagrammed restaurants throughout the UK.
