The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list was recently announced during a live awards ceremony held at Wynn Las Vegas in Nevada on Wednesday, June 5th. The list features 50 restaurants across five continents, with Spain securing five spots within the top 50 rankings. Disfrutar in Barcelona took the top spot, followed by Asado Etxebarri at number 2, Diverxo at number 4, Quique Dacosta at number 14, and Elkano at number 28.
This year, two top dining venues in Hong Kong clinched spots on the prestigious list. The Chairman secured its spot at number 26, and Wing made its first appearance on the global roundup and landed at number 20. Additionally, the two restaurants also received individual awards. The Chairman received the Highest Climber Award after it surpassed 24 places from its rankings last year, and Wing was appointed as the Highest New Entry, just months after receiving the Highest Climber in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants earlier this year.
This year’s special awards include Paris’ Nina Métayer as the Best Pastry Chef Award, Janaína Torres from São Paolo as the Best Female Chef Award, and Lima-based Mitsuharu ‘Micha’ Tsumura as the recipient of Estrella Damm Chefs’ Choice Award. Pablo Rivero from Buenos Aires' Don Julio was chosen as Beronia World’s Sommelier Award, and Niel Perry from Sydney’s Margaret received the Woodford Reserve Icon Award in honour of four decades of experience in the restaurant industry.
Other accolades included modern Asian-American restaurant Kato in Los Angeles named as the One to Watch, Berlin’s Nobelhart & Schmutzig receiving the Sustainable Restaurant Award for its environmentally friendly initiatives, and Paris’ refined French institution, Plénitude, recognised with the Gin Mare Art of Hospitality award.
