The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, has announced the list of restaurants ranked from 51st to 100th in 2015. This unprecedented announcement, coming less than a week before The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards event itself, is part of the annual celebration of global gastronomy that recognises restaurants around the world for their culinary prowess.

11 new restaurants claim their place on the 51-100 list and Canada boasts it’s first entry on the list since 2010. This year’s 51-100 list boasts 11 first-time entrants from restaurants across the globe including Copenhagen’s Amass, Lisbon’s Belcanto and Mikla in Istanbul. Not only is fresh talent making its mark on the list but multiple mainstays have retained their presence including UAE’s Zuma and South Africa’s The Tasting Room, which both occupy the equal No.88 spot.

The 51-100 list recognises 24 countries around the world across six continents and, along with The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, provides an annual barometer to the greatest gastronomic experiences across the globe. The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, will be announced at the annual awards ceremony at the Guildhall in London on 1st June, 2015.

William Drew, Group Editor of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, said:

“This is the first year we have shared the 51-100 list ahead of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards ceremony and we are thrilled to shine a light on the global gastronomic talent, new and recurring, that makes up this list. We feel that each and every entry should be celebrated and we are privileged and proud to play a part in the journey of culinary discovery that is The World’s 50 Best Restaurants“.

The announcement of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list has become one of the most highly anticipated moments of the culinary calendar with the best chefs in the world all in attendance to hear exactly which restaurant will be at the top.
