The World’s 50 Best Restaurants organisation has just revealed the restaurants ranked from 51 to 100 for this year, in anticipation of the big announcement of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2023.

The list seems to have received quite a shake-up, but two South African eateries have remained steadfast.

While a whopping 28 of last year’s spots are missing from this year’s ranking and nine restaurants that were deemed top-50-worthy in 2022 have dropped down to somewhere between No. 51 and No. 100, Cape Town has still made it into the illustrious ranking – twice, nogal.

The latest list begins with Tokyo’s Narisawa and ends with Panama City’s Maito, with Cape Town’s FYN at number 75 and La Colombe at number 94.

Last year, Wolfgat came in at 90th and La Colombe landed at 56th in the best 51–100 global restaurant ranking, while FYN made it to the 37th spot on the 2022 World’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

This year’s preliminary rankings include eateries spread across 22 destinations, with exciting new entries from Istanbul, Quito and beyond.

“All the establishments announced today have demonstrated outstanding hospitality and represent some of the greatest dining experiences across the globe,” said William Drew, the group’s director of content, in a statement per Robb Report.

Europe is the most decorated continent, with 21 restaurants on the list, followed by Asia (15), North America (six), South America (five), and the Middle East and Africa (three). For the United States, the highest-ranking restaurant is Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, which came in at No. 61.
