The best restaurants in the world have been revealed, and there are some clear favorites missing from the list.
2019-06-25
The winners of the annual World's 50 Best Restaurants 2019 awards were announced at a glamorous ceremony at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on Tuesday.
The ranking is based on the opinions of an academy made up of more than 1,000 international chefs, food writers, and "travelling gourmets" — which, for the first time, involved a 50-50 gender split for 2019.

Earlier this year, World's 50 Best Restaurants also announced that, moving forward, restaurants that have been named No. 1 on the list in the past were no longer eligible for the annual ranking and would instead enter a hall of fame.
This means that last year's winner, Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana , isn't even featured on this list.
