While we wait for the main event on 20 June, the World's 50 Best Restaurants started ramping up the excitement by releasing the 51-100 section of the list.
It's always an interesting reveal, not least because if any of the UK restaurants that were in this section last year but aren't this year, you can begin speculating as to whether they've dropped out altogether or have risen to the heady heights

The great and good of the food and drink world assembled last night at The Royal Exchange for the 2023 Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards. And while the canapes and seemingly limitless Champagne were all rather fabulous we were mainly there to discover who the panel of judges had decided should walk away with a gong for their contributions, be it in writing, broadcasting or photography.
We spotted all manner of famous faces at last

Once again, we've had what is viewed by many in the restaurant world as the main awards ceremony of the season - the new Michelin stars reveal. This was Michelin's first in-person event in three years, and they decided to move things up to Silverstone for the occasion. As usual, there was quite the preamble before we got to the awards but when we

It's nearly time for the main restaurant awards of the season to be announced. Find out when the 2023 Michelin stars for London and the UK are being announced - and what to expect.

Kicking off the year with the first major awards of the season, the Top 50 Gastropubs of 2023 were announced last night.
This year it's the turn of a pub that we hear no end of great things about - The Parkers Arms. The Lancashire pub, led by Kathy Smith and Stosie Madi. Last year's number one The Unruly Pig drops only one place

We've added up the votes and the results are in! Out of a shortlist of nearly 50 new restaurants (itself taken from almost 250 restaurants that we tracked as opening in 2022) here's your favourite new restaurant openings of 2022 plus the runners-up.

Celebrating the joy of a whole year's dining out without any restrictions - we look back at the highs of 2022 for our London restaurant round-up of the past 12 months.

Things aren't looking so great for London diners, according to the Good Food Guide. As the first guide to be published in two years was launched in a party last night (in London) it transpired that not only was our city no longer considered the most exciting place to eat in the country, but the number of restaurants it could muster in the guide's top 20 had almost halved.
The 2022 guide features just five London establishments in

After three barren years, the great and good of the food world returned to the Freemasons Hall in central London for the return of the Observer Food Monthly Awards for the first time since the pandemic. Hosted by Jay Rayner and Grace Dent, the ceremony saw the finest in British food and drink rewarded for their efforts.
There were standing ovations for several category winners - the Cook for Ukraine team and Taz Khan from the

The World's 50 Best Bars were announced last night and while The Connaught has reigned for two years, it's time for someone else to take the top spot. It's the turn of Bar Paradiso in Barcelona, which happens to be right behind a pastrami shop in the city.
However, it was still a very good night indeed for London bars with Monica Berg

We're clearly entering awards season. On the same night as the AA announced its 2022 Hospitality Awards, the UK's East and South East Asian restaurants were being celebrated across town at The Golden Chopsticks Awards.
Hosted by Gok Wan, the Mayfair awards ceremony sounds like a

Not having had an actual real-life ceremony for three years, we're imagining that last night's AA Hospitality Awards were a doozy of a party. Hosted by TV's Gabby Logan, the awards handed out gongs to restaurants and hotels across the country and London did pretty well out of it.
The Ritz's John Williams MBE picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award. "It’s been a challenging couple of years," the chef said, "but I really

We take a closer look at the 2022 World's 50 Best Restaurants List and also find out what's so great about the top 10 (and how much they cost).

It's nearly time for the 2022 World's 50 Best Restaurants awards (the event takes place on 18 July). So to get us all in the mood, we've just had numbers 51-100 revealed.
This often gives us something of an opportunity to predict any changes to the top 50 based on what is/isn't in the 51-100 section. For example, the appearance of Lyle's at 54 means that it's
