No.60 Pujol
Mexico City
@pujolrestaurant

Founded by chef Enrique Olvera in 2000, Pujol has always offered an innovative proposal rooted in high-quality indigenous ingredients and diverse techniques, adding a modern twist to traditional Mexican recipes and serving them in the most elegant way.

Prioritising sustainability, Pujol supports small farms, taking care of the soil and using resources efficiently. Its commitment is evident in its sourcing: the team builds the whole menu based on available produce from the 15 farmers it works with.

No.59 Nobelhart & Schmutzig
Berlin
@nobelhartundschmutzig

Describing itself as ‘vocally local’ and ‘Germany’s most political restaurant’, Nobelhart & Schmutzig has been committed to serving only ingredients from the greater Berlin region since it opened in 2015.

Owner-sommelier Billy Wagner and chef Micha Schäfer present a six-course dinner with a side order of fun. With a passion for championing the people behind the food, the restaurant lists the name of the producer against each menu item, turning the focus from chef to farmer. 

No.58 Restaurant Tim Raue
Berlin
@restauranttimraue

In a two-storey building in an unfashionable district of the German capital, close to the neighbourhood where Tim Raue grew up, the chef serves up a fusion of flavours inspired by Japan, Thailand and China.

Raue fell in love with elements of Asian cuisine when travelling and brought them back to Berlin, where his eponymous restaurant opened in 2010. The restaurant is managed by Raue’s business partner, Marie-Anne Wild, who specialises in a relaxed but high-level brand of hospitality.

No.57 Onjium
Seoul
@onjium_restaurant

In Korean, onjium means ‘creating in the right way’. Here, the fuel to create comes from researching centuries-old recipe books – after all, this restaurant is part of an institute that has been studying Korean heritage since 2013. The kitchen, led by chefs Eun-hee Cho and Sung-bae Park, uses seasonal ingredients in dishes crafted according to recipes that have been reimagined after years of study.

Besides its restaurant, Onjium also houses clothing and design studios.

No.56 Jordnær – RE-ENTRY          
Copenhagen
@restaurantjordnaer

Tina and Eric Vildgaard opened Jordnær in 2017, with no external financial support, and while taking care of six children. If you are a fan of the finest ingredients plucked from the sea, Jordnær is your perfect destination.

Caviar plays an important role: Eric Vildgaard is a true aficionado and picks the right roe for every dish. The menu is paired with exquisite wines, while a full pairing of top-marque champagnes is also available.

No.55 La Colombe
Cape Town
@lacolombect

Tucked away in the Silvermist organic wine estate at the top of Constantia Nek, with stunning views over the Constantia Valley towards the sea, South African fine-dining institution La Colombe is the flagship restaurant of Scot Kirton’s La Colombe Group, comprising a slew of the country’s top restaurants. Consistently winning local and international awards, chef James Gaag and his team create elegant dishes grounded in French technique and accented with Asian flourishes.

No.54 El Chato
Bogotá
@elchato_rest

The contemporary Colombian bistro, led by chef Álvaro Clavijo, pays homage to the producers it works with and applies global techniques to highlight local ingredients.

Committed to redefining his country’s flavours, Clavijo routinely explores looking for new produce to include on El Chato’s a la carte and tasting menus. Keeping seasonality front of mind, he creates delightful courses that enhance Colombian ingredients, and has developed impressively close relationships with a network of small producers.

No.53 Den
Tokyo
@denrestaurant

Chef Zaiyu Hasegawa’s iconic restaurant is unlike any other in Japan: creative, contemporary, accessible and welcoming whatever the season.

Drawing on his training in kaiseki (Japan’s elegant multi-course cuisine), Hasegawa’s menus incorporate a diverse range of influences from Japanese home cooking to fast food favourites, plus nuances gleaned from his frequent overseas travels and collaborations. 

As you leave, don’t be surprised if the Hasegawas’ faithful canine mascot, Puchi Jr, appears to bid you sayonara.

No.52 Schloss Schauenstein          
Fürstenau
@schloss_schauenstein

Schloss Schauenstein could have been plucked from the pages of a storybook. It’s housed in a remote castle perched at the top of a mountain in the small town of Fürstenau.

The oak-panelled restaurant also hides nine charming boutique bedrooms, while its romantic locale and fine-tuned menu makes it a destination dining experience worth making a trip for. The food epitomises Swiss precision, ranging from characteristic preparations with a single ingredient to a mélange of intricate, surprising flavours and nuanced presentation.

           No.51 Alcalde           
Guadalajara

@restalcalde

First entering Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants via the One To Watch Award in 2016, Francisco ‘Paco’ Ruano’s restaurant in Guadalajara has steadily risen in popularity on the global gastronomic scene.

Based on Ruano’s ‘frank’ Mexican cooking, Alcalde serves down-to-earth yet elegant fare. There are both a la carte and tasting menu options, and the setting is a warm, unpretentious space featuring plenty of wood and an open kitchen.

The list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, will be revealed from Turin on Thursday 19 June.
