Welcome
First published by Restaurant magazine in 2002 and now in its seventh year, The S.Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants is recognised around the world as the most credible indicator of the best places to eat on Earth. It stimulates fervent debate and sometimes controversy, but the excitement it generates amongst those who aspire to make the list, and the massive interest it brings to the restaurant industry in general, have seen it grow into an eagerly anticipated, internationally influential event.
The list is compiled by The Nespresso World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy, a group of 682 prominent food writers, critics, publishers and commentators, who each represent a different global region and chair a carefully selected voting panel for that region. This ensures a truly authoritative list and one that is becoming more and more globally representative each year.
The S.Pellegrino's World's 50 Best Restaurants 2008 list was unveiled at the at the Freemason’s Hall in London on April 21 and was attended by some of the world’s greatest chefs and restaurateurs. View the list.
This year for the first time, The Nespresso World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy was asked to place a second vote. They also voted for their top 5 restaurants in their own region. See the results.
The S.Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2009 list will be announced April 20, 2009.
