Each year, the World’s 50 Best announces a list of the top 50 restaurants on the planet, and for 2025 that will take place at a ceremony in Turin on June 19. 

But 50? That’s hardly very many spots to allocate when there are so many fantastic restaurants out there. Luckily, there’s an extended version of the list – 50 restaurants that didn’t quite make the final cut, but can very proudly say they’re in the top 100 on the planet.

Ahead of announcing the official top 50, the guide has just released the 51-100 best restaurants in the world right now. 

Among the inclusions is La Colombe, a stunning fine-dining institution near Cape Town, nestled in the Silvermist organic wine estate, which overlooks the Constantia Valley. Here you’ll find a menu of classy plates influenced by Asian cuisine and created with French techniques. 

Over in the heart of São Paulo you’ll find Tuju, a breezy, contemporary restaurant led by chef Ivan Rolston, where you can indulge in a decadent 10-course menu – which, according to World’s 50 Best, ‘pays homage to Brazil’s distinct seasons, showcasing locally sourced ingredients through creative techniques.’

Then there’s Burnt Ends, an iconic Singaporean restaurant where pretty much all the dishes on the menu are flame-cooked. Salivating? Same – check out the rest of the top 100 below.
