Τhe TOP restaurants in the world for 2022

The annual list of the world’s greatest restaurants offers a taste of some of the best locations for distinctive culinary experiences in addition to serving as a barometer for global gastronomic trends thanks to its panel of 1,080 culinary experts and its structured and audited voting system.

World’s best restaurants for 2022 revealed. Another successful year for Copenhagen as the World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards have recognized one of the city’s eateries as the best in the world for the second year in a row.

The eighth floor of Denmark’s national soccer stadium is an unexpected setting for Geranium, which offers a meat-free, seasonally oriented Scandi menu. To maintain a work-life balance, co-owner Sren Ledet and head chef Rasmus Kofoed decided to only keep it open four days a week.

In a sumptuous ceremony conducted Monday night in London’s Old Billingsgate, a Victorian structure that once housed the biggest fish market in the world, the two friends excitedly hugged one another as they celebrated receiving their medal. The ceremony was presented by Hollywood actor and CNN broadcaster Stanley Tucci, who looked dapper in a white tuxedo jacket on the UK’s warmest day of the year.

Restaurants are only allowed to win the top honor once before being included to a different “Best of the Best” program. The Fat Duck near London, Eleven Madison Park in New York, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, Mirazur in Menton, France, and Geranium in Copenhagen, all belong to that exclusive group.
