THE WORLD’S 50 BEST RESTAURANTS 2025: Awards Heads to Italy For The First Time
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025 awards, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, will be hosted in the city of Turin, in Italy’s Piedmont region, on Thursday 19 June 2025. Renowned for its food, wine, culture and architectural beauty, the region of Piedmont is a natural fit to host the most important annual gathering of the international restaurant community.
It marks the first time the world-renowned awards ceremony will be held in Italy in the historic city Turin, the capital of Piedmont.
An extensive event programme – backed by 50 Best’s host partners, the City of Turin and Piedmont Region –will come to a crescendo with the much-anticipated awards ceremony on 19 June, when The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025 ranking will be revealed. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore and experience the inimitable elegance of Turin, a much sought-after destination for its unique blend of art, culture, world-class ingredients and elevated dining experiences.
Highlights for the programme in Turin and Piedmont will include a series of key events which have become the foundation of 50 Best Restaurants celebrations: thought-leadership forum #50BestTalks, exploring some of the most pertinent topics affecting the hospitality world today; the 50 Best Signature Sessions series of collaborative dining events open to the public, which sees 50 Best chefs cooking alongside renowned local talent for exclusive dining opportunities; a Chefs’ Feast showcasing the finest quality ingredients and cooking techniques the region is known for; and the awards ceremony and countdown itself.
The June event programme will be preceded by several special awards announcements, designed to honour the achievements of both individuals and establishments, in the lead-up to the awards ceremony itself.
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024 event, held in Las Vegas, United States, saw Disfrutar in Barcelona named The World’s Best Restaurant. Disfrutar will join the Best of the Best list of former No.1 restaurants, and therefore will not be eligible to appear in the ranking for 2025 and beyond.
50 Best will continue to use its global platform to highlight even more noteworthy restaurants and bars worldwide – through the 50 Best Discovery platform and its 50 Best lists, special awards and content series. 50 Best will take the opportunity in 2025 and beyond to amplify diverse voices and positive messages, foster progressive discussion and cross-border collaboration, and encourage greater gastronomic discovery and exploration.
