World's 50 Best

The World's 50 Best Restaurants (or The 50 Best Restaurants in the World, as it's now been renamed) were announced in Lima last night. It really wasn't a great night for London (or indeed UK) restaurants, with only one from the capital making the list. Ikoyi just about snuck in at number 48 (a rather precipitous drop from no. 15 last year). We were hoping that Mountain, which was 74 last year, might have snuck into the top 50, but instead that's dropped out altogether. 

So yes, from a UK perspective, with only three restaurants in the whole top 100 (Kol and The Ledbury are ...

We're two weeks out from the announcement of the World's 50 Best Restaurants list for 2026. But while we wait to see who made it big, they've just announced who's secured a place on the 51-100 section of the list. That's interesting mainly because it gives us an idea of which London restaurants, if any, might have made it on to the main list this year.

As with last year, there are just two London names on the runners-up part of the list. This year they're KOL at 70 and The Ledbury at 83. That's going to be disappointing news for KOL, which placed 70 (it was 49 last year). But it's

All eyes were on Italy’s Turin this year, where the World’s 50 Best juggernaut staged their annual celebration of the globe’s best restaurants.

With only two London restaurants on the 51-100 long list announced earlier this month there was much speculation as to where the two

It's a couple of weeks until the World's 50 Best Restaurants unveils its list for 2025, but in advance of that, they always release the long-list of 51-100. This year sees a big demotion for London as we go from five restaurants on the list to only two. Core by Clare Smyth and Brat have dropped out, but Tomos Parry's Mountain has moved up from 94 to 74. Lyle's has also dropped out, but that's

Here's a closer look at the 2024 World's 50 Best Restaurants List, including what's so great about the top 10 (and how much they cost).

Two weeks ahead of the announcement of this year's World's 50 Best Restaurants list comes the release of the lower part of the list. Managing to get your restaurant into Numbers 51-100 is still a massive achievement of course and this year London has five restaurants in this section.

It's great news in particular for Soho restaurant Mountain which is a brand new entry this year, coming in at 94.

Here's a closer look at the 2023 World's 50 Best Restaurants List, including what's so great about the top 10 (and how much they cost).

 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

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).

As Londoners got to grips with the heatwave, the City of London turned out to be the hottest place of all last night. Billingsgate was the venue for the 2022 reveal of the World's 50 Best Restaurants List. The event had originally been planned for Moscow but obviously, that plan had to be junked. This was the list's 20th anniversary so maybe it was fitting for it to be back in London after all.

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

The World's 50 Best Restaurants awards are back - and Noma is at the top again.

Antwerp was the scene for this year's announcement - the first for two years. The festivities kicked off with Massimo Bottura doing the red carpet arrivals. And we have to hope that everyone attending was required to take tests or be fully vaccinated based on his effusive welcoming of them all. It also looked like the dress code had been
