World's 50 Best Restaurants Unveils 51-100 List Ahead of Lima Ceremony

Nine new entries, 25 territories, 36 cities. That's the shape of the World's 50 Best Restaurants extended 51-100 list for 2026, released ahead of the main ceremony in Lima, Peru, on 4 November — a countdown that will stream live on 50 Best's YouTube channel.

The geography tells the story. Europe leads with 20 restaurants on the extended list, Asia follows with 17, North America has six, South America three, and Africa and the Middle East claim two apiece. For an industry where a top-100 placing translates directly into booking curves, wine-list revenue and international travel demand, the regional split matters to operators as much as to diners.

Who leads the newcomers?

Shanghai's Ling Long enters highest of the nine debutants, straight in at No. 53. Tokyo's plant-based tasting-room Sazenka sits at No. 56, and Copenhagen's Koan lands at No. 57.

The returns and climbs are just as notable. London's The Ledbury re-enters at No. 83 — its first appearance since 2019. In Cape Town, Fyn (No. 65) and Salsify at the Roundhouse (No. 71) each jumped 17 places year over year. Singapore took three slots: Seroja at No. 64, Burnt Ends at No. 89 and Labyrinth at No. 98.

What about Australia?

No Australian restaurant made the extended list this year. That's the blunt fact. But two names keep the country in contention for the top 50: Melbourne's Yiaga, holder of the 2026 Visa One To Watch Award, and Sydney's Saint Peter, which climbed from No. 98 in 2024 to No. 66 in 2025 — momentum that leaves it outside this year's 51-100 bracket only if it has moved upward again.

What does this change before 4 November?

Mainly expectation-setting. Tokyo's density is hard to ignore — five restaurants between Nos. 52 and 91 — while Mexico places five across Guadalajara, Mérida, Mexico City and Valle de Guadampe wine country, plus Tulum's Arca. Berlin holds three. The top 50, announced in Lima on 4 November and streamed live, will decide whether Saint Peter and Yiaga give Australia a podium presence after a shutout on the extended list.
