World's 50 Best Restaurants Launches Recovery Fund

The World's 50 Best Restaurants organisation has today announced the launch of a 50 Best for Recovery fund providing essential financial relief for restaurants worldwide in partnership with S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, as part of a three-pronged approach to support the industry suffering the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

The fund will support a range of non-profit organisations working in different parts of the globe to aid the survival and eventual revival of the restaurant sector and will be funded through donations from 50 Best’s partners as well as a range of initiatives giving diners the opportunity to get involved and give back.

Upcoming fundraising initiatives include a 50 Best ‘Bid for Recovery’ Auction, to be held in June, plus the release of a new e-cookbook, downloadable for a small donation, entitled Home Comforts: simple lockdown recipes from the world’s best chefs and bartenders.

Speaking of new fund, William Drew, Director of Content for The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, says: “With 50 Best for Recovery, we aim to utilise our network, our relationships and our global reach to provide tangible help to as many restaurant businesses as possible across the world."
