Top three on Google Maps for private dining, Michelin and business lunch

Six months ago Lucie barely showed up on Google Maps for the searches that bring in its best tables. Now it's in the top three across most of downtown, for all three, and it has stayed there.

How long it held: "Michelin restaurant toronto" has held for six straight months, private dining for three

What we did

Every month we check Lucie's Google Maps rank from 49 spots across downtown Toronto.

  1. 1Rebuilt the private-events page around group dining and buyouts.
  2. 2Put room sizes, guest counts and pricing at the top.
  3. 3Fixed old links and what search engines were being told.
  4. 4Added direct ways to ask about group bookings.

The results

  • April 2026: top three at 1 of 49 spots
  • August to October: top three at 25 to 29 spots
How we counted
  • Every scan used the same search and the same 3 km grid.
  • Rankings, not bookings. The scans can't say which change did it.
  • Business lunch rankings swing more month to month.
