Following Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’ announcement of their 51st to 100th extended rankings on March 13, the 11th annual event was held in a live ceremony at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in South Korea on March 26, also globally live-streamed on Youtube.
Year after year, we witness Hong Kong establishments securing positions on the list. In 2023, five of Hong Kong’s restaurants earned spots in 1st to 50th list with The Chairman ranked at number 13, and being awarded as the Best Restaurant in Hong Kong. This year's list includes eight from Bangkok, followed by nine respectively from Singapore and Japan, with the latter nabbing the first and second positions on the list.
This year, six restaurants from Hong Kong nabbed spots on the list – with The Chairman clinching the top spot at number 4, Wing jumping up 32 places and securing the fifth spot, Neighborhood at number 16, Mono at number 27, Caprice at number 32, as well as Ando making their first ever appearance on the list at number 37. Macau also made an appearance on the list with Chef Tam’s Seasons at number 49.
This year’s special awards included Sung Anh from Seoul’s Mosu appointed with the Chef’s Choice Award, Bangkok’s Nusara recognised for the Art of Hospitality Award, and Beijing’s Lamdre chosen for the One To Watch Award. Other awards were given to Singapore’s Seroja for the Highest New Entry Award, Hong Kong’s own Wing for the Highest Climber Award, and Bangkok’s Haoma for the Sustainable Restaurant Award.
Additional individual recognitions handed out at the ceremony included Mineko Kato from Japan’s Faro for the Best Pastry Chef Award, Kevin Lu from Taiwan’s Logy taking home the title for Best Sommelier, chef Pichaya ‘Pam’ Soontornyanakij for the Best Female Chef Award, and Hong Kong’s own Danny Yip from The Chairman appointed with the Icon Award 2024.
