World's 50 Best Restaurants

The World's 50 Best Restaurants is an annual global restaurant ranking, launched in 2002 by the British magazine Restaurant Magazine. The ranking is established by an international panel of around 1,080 experts (chefs, gastronomic journalists, restaurateurs, gastronomic travellers) who each vote for ten restaurants visited in the last 18 months, including at least six outside their country. The World's 50 Best constitutes the most influential global meeting in haute gastronomie, complementary to the MICHELIN Guide, and often determines international gastronomic traveller flows. The annual ceremony is held in a major world capital (Source: The World's 50 Best Restaurants, 2026).
