Global gastronomic elite in focus

The main countdown of the World's 50 Best Restaurants will be celebrated in Turin on June 19, 2025. But the publication of the 51st to 100th places is already causing an international stir in the industry. The extended list is far more than just an appetizer - it is a panorama of global culinary art, curated by 1,120 culinary experts worldwide. Included: twelve newcomers, including culinary beacons in Mexico, New Zealand, San Francisco and Shanghai.

The 2025 list covers 25 countries and 37 cities, spread across six continents. Particularly striking: the international breadth of the selection, which not only honors well-known greats, but also puts newcomers with a strong signature in the spotlight.

Europe is once again strongly represented with 20 restaurants. Germany is included in the extended ranking with four addresses - including three Berlin hotspots: Tim Raue (58th place), Nobelhart & Schmutzig (59th) and the dessert-telling Coda (79th). Tantris in Munich made it to 73rd place.

Other notable placings: Jordnær (56) in Copenhagen returns, the creative Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona makes it to 78th place and Al Gatto Verde from Modena lands in 92nd place.

New entries such as Chef Tam's Seasons (72, Macau) and Meet the Bund (94, Shanghai) show the dynamic development of Asian cuisine. Den (53) and Sazenka (71) from Tokyo and Onjium (57) from Seoul set further strong markers.

Mexico shines with Arca (67, Tulum) as the highest newcomer and Pujol (60, Mexico City). Colombia is represented twice with El Chato (54) and Leo (76). A highlight: the comeback of Evvai (95) from São Paulo.

New Zealand is celebrating its debut with Amisfield Restaurant (99) in Queenstown - proof of how regional cuisine can also make a name for itself internationally.

South Africa scores with three placings from Cape Town, including La Colombe (55) and Fyn (82). Australia is represented by Saint Peter (66, Sydney).

The mix of established names and new culinary voices makes the 51st to 100th places a true barometer for global food trends. Curated by a global vote of the World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy, the list guarantees diversity, quality and sustainability - and is therefore a guide for restaurateurs, media and travelers alike. With Deloitte as an independent auditing company, the voting process is also secure, transparent and free from sponsor influence.

On June 19, 2025, the top 50 restaurants in the world will be chosen at a grand gala in Turin at the Lingotto Fiere. Those who make it into the top 50 will be live-streamed on the official YouTube channel and on 50 Best's social media channels - a must-attend event for the global gastronomy scene.

The 51st to 100th places on the World's 50 Best Restaurants are a multi-layered reflection of the global culinary scene. They celebrate courage, craftsmanship and cultural depth - and offer inspiration for the gastronomy of the future. Those listed in this segment have long been among the world's elite.
