French Restaurant Mirazur Takes the Top Spot for The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2019

0

The 18th edition of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants has finally unveiled the winner of the coveted top spot for 2019. French restaurant Mirazur has been scored as the world’s best restaurant at a gala awards ceremony that took place at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore today.

This is the first time the prestigious culinary award event is held in Asia.

Singapore has only one entry in the list; last year’s No.28 – fine-dining French restaurant Odette – jumped 10 places to come in at No. 18 this year. The highest entry for a restaurant in Asia goes to Gaggan from Bangkok, Thailand at No. 4.

This year also saw some changes, which saw the launch of the ‘Best of the Best’ category. The new introduction features restaurants that have previously won the No. 1 spot in the list. This also means these restaurants, which include Massimo Bottura’s Osteria Francescana and the Roca brothers’ El Celler de Can Roca, are no longer eligible for the annual vote.

Produced by UK media company William Reed Business Media, The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list is based on a poll of international chefs, restaurateurs, gourmands and restaurant critics.

Here is the full list of winners for 2019:
