In anticipation of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants reveal in Las Vegas next month, the organization has announced which establishments didn’t quite make the cut. On Wednesday, the group named the extended list of Nos. 51 to 100, with a dozen new restaurants making the grade.
In total, the spots encompass 23 different territories across six continents, with Europe leading the way with an impressive 23 restaurants on the list. The highest new entry is Italy’s Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler at No. 52.
“This year’s extended list is a true representation of global gastronomy,” William Drew, the director of content for the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, said in a statement. “With restaurants located across six continents, we’re thrilled to see so many new entries from exciting names that are making their mark on the dining world.” While the new entries are notable, they may be eclipsed by the former top spots that have fallen quite far in the rankings.
Seven restaurants that broke into last year’s top 50 have since dropped into the runner-up list, including Spain’s Mugaritz, which came in at No. 31 in 2023 but is now slotted at No. 81.
Elsewhere, London’s Clove Club declined from No. 38 to No. 80, while New York’s Le Bernardin drooped from No.
44 to No. 71. The other spots that have lost some of their former glory are Italy’s Le Calandre, Bogotá’s Leo, Dubai’s Orfali Bros Bistro, and France’s La Grenouillère.
