The top 50 restaurants in the world will be announced in the city of Turin in Italy’s Piedmont region for the very first time.
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants ceremony as well as a series of culinary events open to the public will be held in June next year, with the rankings announced live on the 19th.
“Turin is a culinary capital in its own right and we are thrilled to be heading there, and indeed the wider region of Piedmont, for the event program and awards ceremony to celebrate,” says William Drew, director of content.
“The time is ripe for 50 Best to make its debut in Italy, where a culture of food and hospitality is so intrinsic to society. We look forward to gathering the global restaurant community together in this deeply historic, epicurean and charming destination.”
#50BestTalks will return again in 2025, which will see chefs and hospitality professionals take the stage to discuss the most pressing topics the global industry is currently facing.
The 50 Best Signature Sessions series is also making a comeback, and will feature a total of 50 Best chefs cooking alongside local culinary professionals at their restaurants.
“The beauty of our territory and the high quality of our food and wine tradition will be at the centre of global attention, with moments dedicated to the awarding of the best restaurants in the world, but also to promoting our extraordinary land, its products and its cuisine,” says Alberto Cirio, President of Piedmont Region. “It represents a great opportunity for the region to tell its story and let more and more people discover and experience the beauty of our Piedmont.”
Barcelona’s Disfrutar is the current no.1 restaurant in the world but will soon move into the Best of the Best program.
It’s been several years since Australian restaurants have featured in the top 50, however Neil Perry secured the Icon Award this year.
