About Plebs List
Plebs List is a curated guide to restaurants, bars, cafés and food spots worth your time. Every place has been personally visited and vouched for by curator Honza Emler. No algorithmic ranking, no paid listings, no sponsored content. The list is chosen, not exhaustive. It currently covers 323 places across 95 cities in 11 countries, centred on Prague.
Who is behind it
Plebs List is written and maintained by one person, Honza Emler. There is no editorial desk, no PR agency, no rating panel. That is deliberate: the list has one standard and one name behind it. You can reach him at honzaemler@doller.cz.
How a place gets on the list
- · A personal visit is required. Nothing is added from a desk or from scraped data.
- · Opening hours, address and contact details come from Google Places.
- · Photos are official Google Places photos or the curator’s own.
- · Place descriptions are prepared by AI from public sources. The selection of places is the curator’s.
- · Visitor suggestions go through the same check. A suggestion is not a listing.
No paid listings
A business cannot buy a listing, a better position or a mention on Plebs List. There is no sponsored content and there are no affiliate links. Outbound links point at the place’s own website, not at booking partners. If a place is on the list, it is because the curator has been inside and would send a friend there.
What Plebs List is NOT
- · Not a Yelp or TripAdvisor clone: there are no public user reviews.
- · Not exhaustive: plenty of great places are deliberately missing.
- · Not paid promotion: paying is not a route onto the list.
- · Not a booking platform.
Frequently asked questions
How does Plebs List choose places?
Every place is personally visited by curator Honza Emler. It only makes the list if he would send a friend there. There is no algorithmic score and no user voting, just one person and one standard.
Can a business pay to be listed?
No. Plebs List has no paid listings, no sponsored content and no affiliate links. Paying is not a route onto the list, and money has no effect on ordering.
Are the ratings on a place user reviews?
Plebs List does not collect its own user reviews or ratings. The numeric rating and review count shown on a place come from Google Places and serve as extra context alongside the curator’s selection. Places rated below 4.0 are not shown when browsing the list and can only be found by searching for their name.
How many places are on Plebs List?
Currently 323 places across 95 cities in 11 countries. The list grows slowly and deliberately, also depending on how much free time the curator has and where he gets to travel. The goal is not to cover everything, only what is worth your time.
Can I suggest a place?
Yes, through the “Suggest a place” form in the app. A suggestion goes through the same check as everything else. The curator has to visit it before a listing appears.
