The world's 50 best restaurants for 2024 have been announced, with Disfrutar in Barcelona taking the top spot. NYC's Atomix ranked No. 6 globally and No. 1 in North America. The list, chosen by 1,080 international experts, features entries from 23 countries, with Spain leading with six restaurants. Paris and Bangkok each have four restaurants on the list, and South America boasts 11 entries.
Two New York City restaurants, Atomix and Le Bernardin, have been named among the best in the world on the "World's 50 Best Restaurants" list. Atomix was ranked No. 8 and was the highest-rated restaurant in North America, while Le Bernardin was also recognized for its French cuisine. No other U.S. city made the list, with Central in Lima taking the top spot.
Central in Lima, Peru has been named the best restaurant in the world according to the 50 Best organization's 2023 list, replacing last year's winner Geranium. Disfrutar in Barcelona, Spain, ranked second on last year's list, was named the best restaurant in Europe. Table by Bruno Verjus in Paris became the highest new entry to the rankings at number 10, while New York's fine dining Korean restaurant Atomix jumped 25 spots to become this year's highest-ranked restaurant in North America. The list has faced criticism for its Western-centric focus and lack of representation of female chefs and cuisines from Africa and India.
