The World’s 50 Best Restaurants celebrates the richness and diversity of the world’s culinary landscape by recognizing the dedication, passion, and skill of restaurants and culinary artists across the globe. The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024 awards ceremony, held in Las Vegas, created a unique opportunity to bring an incredible community of chefs together from around the world. The programme included a thought-leadership forum known as #50BestTalks, a Chefs’ Feast showcasing the finest cooking from both local and international chefs, a “Meet the Chefs” media roundtable event, and 50 Best Signature Sessions open to consumers in addition to the official awards ceremony and countdown itself. Thanks to its panel of 1,080 culinary experts, as well as its structured and audited voting procedure, the annual list of the world’s finest restaurants acts as a barometer for global gastronomic trends, providing a snapshot of some of the best destinations for unique culinary experiences. Before this, no one had dared take on the task of including the entire restaurant industry, in all its global diversity, in a single ranking system.
