Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants has released an extended list for the first time.
The decision to add an additional 50 venues to the 2021 iteration was made to support the broader industry.
“The global pandemic has been devastating for hospitality and it is vital we support restaurants across Asia in their recovery,” says William Drew, director of content at Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.
Japan and Thailand each have nine placements on the list with China taking out eight spots and South Korea appearing four times.
The Maldives has also made its first appearance, with Aragu coming in at no.96.
The full list will be released on 25 March.
