Placing establishments from across six continents on the global map and celebrating diverse cuisines, the 50 Best list is created through a voting system. Over 1,000 experts in the fields of gastronomy and hospitality, globally known chefs, food connoisseurs, writers and journalists serve as the voting panel. This year’s extended list features acclaimed restaurants from over 22 countries and debut entries from destinations including Mexico, the UAE and France.
With 20 new entries from various cities, including Melbourne, Dubai and Mexico City, the 51-100 list has prominent restaurants such as Trèsind Studio, offering exquisite Indian food, and Orfali Bros Bistro with an authentic Syrian menu (both in Dubai, UAE, at No.57 and No.87, respectively). It also features other debutants, including the Italian special Rosetta (Mexico City at No.60) and Máximo Bistrot (No.89) serving traditional Mexican food with an innovative twist.
Leading the roster with the highest number of entries is Asia with 14 restaurants, closely followed by Europe (13), North America (11), South America (7) and the Middle East (2).
Topping the list at No. 51 is Guadalajara’s Alcalde, featuring homely Mexican cooking made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The budding restaurant is regularly seen grabbing top spots on Latin America’s 50 Restaurants list, under the guidance of Chef Francisco ‘Paco’ Ruano.
Three new entries from France included in the 51-100 list are Table by Bruno Verjus, featuring delicately prepared seafood (No.77), in Paris; the award-winning AM par Alexandre Mazzia (No.80), highlighting the local flavours of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Marseille; and Flocons de Sel (No.99) in Megève, offering a menu inspired by the lush Alpines.
