There’s much anticipation every year when Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants announces their top 50 restaurants across the continent. The winners are selected based on votes from the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy—a group consisting of over 300 leaders in the industry, ranging from food critics to chefs to restauranteurs to regional culinary experts. Amazingly, it has a fair 50/50 gender balance.
However, one thing that’s different this year is the reveal—for the first time ever—of a 51-100 list.
“This year, we have decided to publish the list of restaurants ranked from 51-100, created from the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants voting process, in order to recognise a greater number of venues than ever before. The global pandemic has been devastating for hospitality, and it is vital that we support restaurants across Asia in their recovery.”
— William Drew, Director of Content at Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants
Japan and Thailand each have nine restaurants on the list while Mainland China takes the next spot with the most represented restaurants (eight entries). In Malaysia, three restaurants have found a place on the list: Dewakan (No. 66), Gen in Penang (No. 92) and Nadodi (No. 99).
