About This Edition
The 2024 edition marked a significant shift in the World's 50 Best Restaurants format, expanding to rank 100 establishments instead of the traditional 50. This broader scope captured fine dining across 31 countries and 55 cities, though it came with complete list turnover; not a single venue from the previous edition retained its position. Spain dominated the upper rankings with four top-10 placements, led by Barcelona's Disfrutar at #1 and Basque Country's Asador Etxebarri at #2. Madrid's DiverXO secured #4, showcasing the country's range from modernist technique to live-fire cooking. Latin America claimed three top-10 spots through Peru's Maido (#5), Mexico's Quintonil (#7), and Argentina's Don Julio (#10), continuing the region's strong performance in global rankings. Europe took five of the top 10 positions total, with Paris's Table by Bruno Verjus at #3 and Copenhagen's Alchemist at #8. Asia and North America each contributed one restaurant to the top tier; Gaggan Anand in Bangkok (#9) and Atomix in New York City (#6). The wholesale changes from the previous edition, including the exit of all 51 formerly ranked restaurants, suggest either significant methodology adjustments or a deliberate reset of the evaluation criteria.
