The Time Out EAT List: Asia

You don’t need to be a foodie to know that many of the most exciting and diverse cuisines come from Asia. This is the region that has given us countless curries, noodles, dumplings, breads, pickles, soups, sweets and so much more, along with specific dishes like pad thai, nasi lemak, Peking duck and roti canai that are famous the world over.

It’s no surprise therefore that Asia is where you’ll also find some of the best restaurants on the planet. If fine-dining’s your thing there’s plenty to sink your teeth into here, but many of the region’s best eating experiences come from small and unassuming hole-in-the-wall places, which is where you’ll often find the most authentic and delicious eats.

We’re here to help you navigate the lot, so pull up a plastic stool and dive into our set of guides covering the best restaurants in Asia.
