Asador Etxebarri in Spain's Basque Country has been named the world's best restaurant by The 50 Best Restaurants 2026, announced in Lima, Peru. Quintonil in Mexico City, Alchemist in Copenhagen, and Gaggan in Bangkok were also in the top five. The list, compiled by The 50, formerly known as 50 Best, is voted on by more than 1,100 voters across 28 regions, with a quarter of them new each year. The voting body is made up of chefs and restaurateurs, food writers, and 'well-travelled gourmets'. Aside from the Academy Chairs, voters must remain anonymous. There is no set criteria for what makes a restaurant the best, and 'every style of restaurant in the world is eligible', though the list skews towards high-end dining.
