The South American restaurant just crowned best in the world for 2025
A couple of weeks after announcing their annual list of the world's 51-100 best restaurants, the much-anticipated guide to the best of the best has landed. World's 50 Best announced their winners at a ceremony in Turin last night, and Maido, a restaurant in Lima, Peru, was named the best restaurant on the planet. It's the 23rd edition of the awards, and restaurants from 32 cities across 22 different countries made the ranking, including 10 new entries. So, what's Maido doing that makes it better than all those brilliant spots? The restaurant takes its name from a Japanese phrase used by people to greet each other: 'maido', and is run by chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, the son of Japanese immigrants who formally trained in the US. Recommended: These are the best cities in the world for food, according to Time Out. He then spent time in Osaka mastering the techniques now utilised at this place, and it's resulted in a dazzling blend of Peruvian Amazon flavours cooked with Japanese methods. Think a miniature jaune parcel of pork jowl and palm heart, or yucca served up with Amazonian beans. 'I can't describe it in words really. It's a mix of feelings… All the hard work, all the difficult moments, making people understand what we were doing, and now seeing what we've done with Nikkei cuisine and Peruvian cuisine… with hospitality. Making people happy has always been what I've loved doing,' said Tsumura, after the win. 'I think the most beautiful act of love is to cook for somebody. It's the most beautiful thing that has happened in my life. It's been 11 years [being ranked on The World's 50 Best Restaurants] and it's a dream come true.' Three other restaurants in Lima made the World's 50 Best list – Kjolle, Mérito and Mayta. Read on for all of the outstanding inclusions for 2025.

The Best Restaurant in the World? It's the Peruvian-Japanese Maido in Lima
Drumroll, please, for the best restaurant in the world: It's Maido, in Lima, Peru. The annual ranking of the World's 50 Best Restaurants was announced this evening at Lingotto Fiere in Turin. The top pick is a 16-year-old restaurant led by chef Mitsuharu Tsumura that specializes in a singular style of Nikkei cuisine, the combination of Peruvian and Japanese flavors and influences. Tsumura's menu prioritizes seafood, with dishes like raw razor clams in a ponzu emulsion with truffle oil and tuna nirigi with shoyu-infused cured egg yolks and toasted quinoa. The Maido experience starts at 1190 Peruvian sols, or around $331. In an exclusive first interview with Tsumura, the chef said: 'This is not for my, this is for the country, this is for Peru, this is for the Pervian restaurants, This is for Latin America, and this is also for the whole industry.' He also paid tribute to the influence of the organizers on the culinary community. 'Before 50 Best, the community of chefs didn't get together as they do right now. And this is important because from there, we have built together many, many beautiful connections and this should be an example for all the industries in the world. There is competition, this is like a football game, but when you finish, you shake hands, you have a beer. There's so much differences in the world right now. We don't agree in so many things. Maybe food will be there, the tool to fix.' Maido stands in sharp contrast to last year's No. 1 spot, the fantastical Disfratur in Barcelona, where dishes have names like Fear: The Prawn. Spain was the big winner in 2024: three of the top five restaurants on the list were located there. This year, it was the host country Italy's turn. It had five restaurants in the top 50. The city of Bangkok did even better: It had six. The No. 2 spot on the 2025 list went to Asador Etxebarri in Spain's Basque country, where chef-owner Victor Arguinzoniz uses custom-made grills to prepare seemingly simple, yet outrageously flavorful dishes like grilled baby squid and ink with caramelized onions and pan-fried white truffles. The tasting menu goes for 280 euros . If you'd asked ChatGPT what the winners would be, you would have gotten a very different answer. Atomix came out as their pick for top recommendation; the platform also saw top contenders in Table by Bruno Verjus and the Alchemist in Copenhagen . Atomix was the top-ranked US dining room, and fell 6 spots from last year. It was also the only American restaurant to appear on the top 50 list. The UK had two spots in the top 50: the forward-thinking Mexican restaurant Kol at No. 49, which prioritizes local ingredients over imported ones, even avocados, and the dynamic Ikoyi, which, at No. 15, won the title of 'highest climber' moving up 27 spots from last year's spot. The 50 Best awards are owned and operated by the UK-based William Reed media company, which also publishes regional restaurant rankings in as well as ones for bars and hotels. The ranking is based on the votes of 1120 panelists around the world. The preamble to this years list, by William Drew, the director of content for 50 Best, included a tribute to Bloomberg's former chief food critic Richard Vines, who died this year. The 50 Best also doles out special awards. They included the World's Best Pastry Chef award went to Maxime Frédéric, from Plénitude. The Best Female Chef in the World is Pichaya Soontornyanakij, known as Pam, runs the modern Thai-Chinese dining room Potong in Bangkok; it was also the highest new entry on the list, at No. 13. The rankings for places 51-100 were published earlier this month. Among the notable US inclusions are César, the year-old modernist dining room in New York, which broke onto the list at No. 98; Atelier Crenn, the San Francisco boite from star chef Dominique Crenn, a re-entry at No. 96; and Single Thread in Sonoma County, which dropped to No. 80 from its No. 46 spot last year. Other noteworthy new entries included the innovative Chef Tam's Seasons in Macau, at No. 72 ; and the highest new entry, the elevated street food spot Arca in Tulum, Mexico at No. 67. Here are this year's winning restaurants. Last year's rankings are listed in parentheses; restaurants that are new to the list this year are marked with an asterisk. 2.
