A new champion has been crowned, following the addition of a rule this year that renders previous winners of the top award ineligible for the list.
The Oscars of the fine dining world took place yesterday in Singapore, revealing the annual list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants widely anticipated by chefs, restauranteurs and industry experts around the globe.
A new champion has been crowned, following the addition of a rule this year that renders previous winners of the top award ineligible for the list. This ruling put restaurants like Gaggan (World’s Best Restaurant 2017) and Osteria Francescana (World’s Best Restaurant 2018) along with this year’s successor in an upcoming ‘Best of the Best’ program instead.
Without further ado, here are the top 10 restaurants to make the 2019 list.
