Held at Marina Bay Sands Theater on June 25, the highly anticipated award ceremony will honor the best of the international culinary scene.

For the first time, The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards ceremony is being held in an Asian city—Singapore, to be specific, after being hosted in New York, Australia and the Basque Country of Spain in previous years.
It’s no surprise to see that Singapore is the host country, considering its longstanding position as a hotspot for vibrant street food culture, as well as outstanding restaurants that have made previous years’ lists, including Odette (No.28 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2018).
Happening tonight at the Marina Bay Sands Theater, the “Oscars” of the culinary world will be a consolidation of votes cast by experts from around the globe, including chefs, food journalists, and established gourmands. Titles to watch include The World’s Best Restaurant 2019, as well as individual prizes such as the Miele One To Watch Award, the elit Vodka World’s Best Female Chef and the American Express Icon Award.
In addition, the Best of the Best program will be launched, featuring restaurants that have already attained the No.1 spot in the list and hence, are no longer eligible for the annual vote.
These include Massimo Bottura’s Osteria Francescana (The World’s Best Restaurant 2018) and the Roca brothers’ El Celler de Can Roca.
