Bangkok's Gaggan reclaims throne as best restaurant in Asia after 10 years
Mingles, country's only Michelin 3-star restaurant this year, lands 5th spot on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants Awards Gaggan, the renowned Bangkok restaurant, has been crowned the best restaurant in Asia at Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2025. The rankings of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants are determined through a vote conducted by Asia's 50 Best Restaurants Academy — a group of over 350 influential figures in the food industry, including chefs, restaurant operators, food journalists, critics and regional culinary experts. The Academy selects restaurants from 16 cities across Asia. Gaggan, led by star chef Gaggan Anand, was named the best restaurant in Asia for the second time after a period of mixed results following its 2015 win. 'Our food evolved over the years. We reinvented and reduced our seating to only 14 seats. I gave up all the things that I felt were wrong in food and started doing things that made me happy,' said Anand after winning the award in Seoul. 'We show you 25 courses in 2 hours. I take you away from all the problems of your life, at least during that time. Food is the most humane thing. To be honest, I didn't work so hard in 2015. But the last 10 years, it was very challenging because this title was very heavy. From tomorrow, everyone will judge me again. But this time, I'm ready,' he added. Seoul saw four restaurants make the list, with Mingles taking the No. 5 spot. Chef Kang Min-goo's innovative fusion of Korean and Hong Kong influences earned Mingles the title of the best restaurant in South Korea. Other notable Seoul entries included Onjium, which rose 11 spots to No. 10, and Eatanic Garden, which debuted at No. 25 and won the Highest New Entry Award. This year, Bangkok and Tokyo claimed the top spots with nine restaurants each on the list. Sezanne, a restaurant in Tokyo, ranked No. 4. Known for its neo-French cuisine that marries classic French techniques with exceptional Japanese ingredients, Sezanne received widespread praise at the 2024 awards when it was ranked No. 1. Hong Kong, with seven restaurants featured, had The Chairman, a modern Cantonese restaurant, take the No. 2 spot. The Wellington, known for its artistic ambiance and creative dishes highlighting rare southern Chinese ingredients, ranked No. 3. Wing's chef Vicky Cheng also won the prestigious Inedit Damm Chefs' Choice Award, an award whose winner is selected by fellow chefs. The event, held for the second consecutive year in Seoul, was organized by William Reed Business Media, a UK-based publishing company, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

LONDON, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Manila's Toyo Eatery has been named the winner of the Gin Mare Art of Hospitality Award 2025. Voted for by the 350-plus members of the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants Academy who were asked to name the one establishment that has provided the best hospitality experience in the last 18 months, this is the second in the series of pre-announced special awards unveiled leading up to the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 programme and awards ceremony, which will be held at Grand Hyatt, Seoul, on 25 March 2025. Debuting at Asia's 50 Best Restaurants as the One To Watch Award winner in 2018, Toyo Eatery joined the list in 2019 at No.43 while holding onto the title of The Best Restaurant in the Philippines for five years, and winning the Sustainable Restaurant Award in 2023. Ranked No.24 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2024, Toyo Eatery is helmed by husband-and-wife team Jordy and May Navarra. The restaurant emphasises Filipino heritage and food culture which is a deeply personal hospitality experience akin to dining in the couple's own home. William Drew, Director of Content for Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, says: "At Toyo Eatery, each guest is warmly immersed in Filipino food culture. Genuine hospitality is also evident in the personal touches from Jordy and May – from the seamless integration of interiors, floral and vegetable displays and wall art to local craftsmanship and in the way they educate diners about their food." Toyo Eatery is a deep dive into the culinary culture of the Philippines. Its vegetable-forward menu and mindful use of local ingredients, service ware, art, furniture and design celebrate all things Filipino while heritage elements are reimagined through fermentation and preservation. Since opening the restaurant in 2016, they have championed minimising their carbon footprint, sourcing locally and fostering relationships with farmers and artisans, while maintaining an approachable fine dining atmosphere. Chef Jordy says, "To be welcomed into a Filipino home is to experience genuine warmth and care. We aim to convey the Filipino experience, not just through the dishes we serve, but also by creating genuine connections with our guests. This award belongs to our incredible team and to all those who have dined with us. Maraming salamat (thank you very much)."
