It will be the first time the prestigious S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna-sponsored event, which names the best restaurants and chefs across Asia, has taken place in Macao after it was originally staged in Singapore followed by Bangkok.
Last year's annual list of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants (see it here) included restaurants from 12 different countries and 10 new entries in total. However, none were able to topple Bangkok restaurant Gaggan from the top which has held the title of The Best Restaurant in Asia for a record-breaking three consecutive years.
