The highest place among American restaurants was taken by Atomix from New York, which was sixth in 2024, and took 12th place this year.
The restaurant just received a James Beard award for outstanding hospitality.
The extended list of the top 100 also included Single Thread from Healdsburg (80th place), Le Bernardin (90) and César (98) from Manhattan, as well as Atelier Crenn from San Francisco (96). At the same time, Cosme from New York and Smyth from Chicago dropped out of the list.
Potong from Bangkok took 13th place. Its head chef Pichaya Suntornyanakij received the title of "World's Best Female Chef" despite controversies surrounding this category.
Additionally
The ranking, founded in 2002 by the British publication Restaurant, is constantly criticized. Unlike the Michelin guide or independent journalistic rankings, the list of the 50 best allows 1,100 voters to receive free meals and other benefits. At the same time, they must remain anonymous.
Many of the so-called "gastronomic experts" are well-known chefs, authors, or public relations specialists in the culinary world.
Despite this, the ranking has gained great popularity among gastrotourists. Over time, it has expanded to separate lists for Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America.
In 2019, a new rule was introduced: restaurants that took first place are no longer eligible to participate in subsequent votes. They move to the "Best of the Best" category.
In the US, these include Eleven Madison Park (New York) and The French Laundry (Napa Valley). Former leaders of the list also include El Bulli (Spain) and Noma Copenhagen (Denmark).
Recall
