The World's 50 Best Restaurants sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna has revealed its second tier list ahead of the awards in Bilbao on 19 June, which you can watch live on Fine Dining Lovers.
The 51-100 list, which along with the top 50 is decided on by a voting Academy comprising over 1000 international restaurant industry experts, this year features 12 new entries, including SingleThread in California (no.91), the winner of the Miele One to Watch Award 2018, and Bangkok's Sühring, the list's highest new entry at number 54. Canada makes an appearance for the first time since 2015, with Toronto's Alo (No.94), while Leo in Bogotá is the first restaurant from Colombia to appear on the extended list at number 99.
The list's highest riser is Tokyo's Florilège, which jumps 40 places to number 59, after a hugely successful Asia's 50 Best Restaurants. The USA is the most represented country with eight restaurants on the list, followed by Spain with six. Germany has four, including two new entries.
While the likes of Dominique Crenn's Atelier Crenn and Ana Roš's Hiša Franko don't feature here, with the sensible money being on them cracking the top 50 – read their inspiring stories – a number of big names drop out of the top list, including Amber in Hong Kong and De Librije in Zwolle.
