The World's 50 Best Restaurants, the annual ranking of the best restaurants in the world, as well as new trends, outstanding culinary destinations and emerging chefs, has been published. This 23rd edition, the ceremony was held in the Italian city of Turin and was attended by more than 1,300 guests, including representatives of restaurants from all over the world and internationally renowned chefs.
The ranking belongs to the prestigious global brand of the hospitality sector that analyses the global panorama of the sector and annually produces the well-known and prestigious rankings of the best restaurants and hotels in the world. More than 1,000 international experts participate in the analysis, which once a year offers the ranking of the 50 best restaurants and also of the 50 best hotels and bars, among others. The restaurant ranking is the longest-running, having been published for the first time in 2002.
