Along with the Michelin guide, Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants is one of the most celebrated and awaited dining awards in the region. Each year, it rolls out a list of both establishments and praise-worthy chefs that churn out great dishes using traditional and innovative techniques, and push new boundaries in the culinary scene.
But while Michelin recognition is based on the critiques of inspectors, Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants is decided by votes from industry experts, insiders, chefs, and editors, each of whom can vote for 10 restaurants that he or she has visited in the past 18 months.
Here’s the list of Bangkok restaurants that made it to Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024.
