From New York to Tulum, from Berlin to Queenstown: the World’s 50 Best Restaurants celebrate culinary diversity on six continents. Places 51 to 100 are a compass for gourmets and an indicator of future gastronomic trends.

World's 50 Best Restaurants

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.

Insight into the list: The world map of innovative cuisine

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 remains strong - Germany with four placings

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.

Asia with a powerful appearance

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.

Latin America: Emotion, depth and new peaks

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.

Taking part for the first time: New Zealand

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.

Africa & Oceania: Fine wines from Cape Town and Sydney

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

What makes the list so relevant

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.

Looking ahead: the main countdown in Turin

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.

Conclusion: This list is more than a ranking - it's a statement

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.

Book tip: A Guest in Rome

Discovering the flavours of the city

The best way to discover Rome is through its food. A Guest in Rome is less a traditional cookbook than a culinary stroll through the city – guided by Stefan Maiwald and brought to life visually by Andrea Di Lorenzo. Between antipasti and dolci, Roman cuisine unfolds as a living culture: authentic, unpretentious and deeply rooted.

Alongside iconic recipes such as cacio e pepe, carciofi alla romana and saltimbocca, the book opens doors to hidden trattorias, markets and cafés that lie far off the beaten track. Anecdotes, historical context and precise insider tips make it clear why food in Rome is always about identity too. A book that combines travel and cuisine – and inspires you to experience Rome with all your senses, whether you’re there or at home.

Book tip: HADN – The Buckwheat Cookbook

A local supergrain that bridges tradition, modernity and the future

Buckwheat, affectionately known as ‘Hadn’ in Southern Carinthia, is one of those products that quietly disappeared – and is now making a natural comeback. HADN – The Buckwheat Cookbook is dedicated to this almost forgotten powerhouse grain with remarkable dedication: rooted in culinary, cultural and regional traditions.

Together with the Klopeiner See – South Carinthia – Lavant Valley tourism region, food expert and editor cookingCatrin (Catrin Ferrari-Brunnenfeld) embarks on a journey to the roots of Carinthian ‘Hadn’. The book combines over 55 creative sweet and savoury recipes with in-depth background knowledge – from cultivation and history to its modern-day significance as a gluten-free, nutrient-rich superfood. Buckwheat is not only presented as flour, but also as semolina or rice: given a modern twist, suitable for everyday use and surprisingly versatile.

The Personal Touch

Italian rituals, as told by the people behind Portrait Hotels

With its new ongoing editorial series ‘The Personal Touch’, Portrait Hotels turns its attention to the individuals who shape the character of its properties in Milan, Florence and Rome: hosts, concierges, chefs, bartenders and members of the lifestyle team, whose stories, rituals and local perspectives become part of the Portrait Experience.

The focus is on personal insights, everyday Italian culture and those small gestures that turn a stay into more than just a trip. Rather than simply showcasing places, the series tells the stories of the people, memories and traditions that define the Italian way of life.
