Gastronomic leaders gathered this evening in Las Vegas, Nevada, to celebrate the unveiling of the inaugural list of North America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna. Atomix from New York City was named The Best Restaurant in North America. Hosted at Wynn Las Vegas, the awards ceremony honored the finest culinary talent across the region, with restaurants from Canada, the Caribbean and the United States featured on the debut list.

Atomix, the flagship restaurant of Ellia and Junghyun ‘JP’ Park, has been crowned The Best Restaurant in North America 2025. Also ranked No.12 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list, Atomix is celebrated for its refined 12-course tasting menu and immersive storytelling rooted in Korean tradition. Each course is served on bespoke ceramics and accompanied by an explanatory card detailing the dish’s ingredients, origin and inspiration.

With Atomix at the forefront, the Parks have cultivated a collection of celebrated restaurants – including Atoboy, Naro and Seoul Salon – building what is widely regarded as one of New York’s most exciting dining groups. Their signature approach – defined by hospitality, humility and technical precision – continues to elevate Korean cuisine on both the North American and global stages.

Atomix is followed in the top 10 ranking by Mon Lapin (No.2) in Montreal, named The Best Restaurant in East Canada 2025 and Restaurant Pearl Morissette (No.3) in Lincoln, awarded The Best Restaurant in Central Canada 2025. Smyth (No.4) in Chicago earns the title of The Best Restaurant in Midwest USA 2025, while Tanière3 (No.5) in Quebec City receives the Art of Hospitality Award 2025, sponsored by Lee K*m Kee. Dakar NOLA (No.6) in New Orleans is recognized as The Best Restaurant in South USA 2025, followed by Kalaya (No.7) in Philadelphia, and SingleThread (No.8) in Healdsburg, named The Best Restaurant in West USA. Rounding out the top ten are Le Bernardin (No.9) and Le Veau d’Or (No.10), both in New York City.

Two standout restaurants from the Caribbean earned notable placement on the debut list: Buzo Osteria Italiana (No.41) in Barbados, led by chef Nakita Goddard, and Stush in the Bush (No.49) in Jamaica, from Lisa and Christopher Binns. Each offers a distinctive culinary experience to their respective islands: Buzo showcasing refined Italian flavors, and Stush offering a bold take on farm-to-table dining.

The list also celebrates under-the radar destinations, proving that world-class cuisine thrives well beyond traditional hotspots. Restaurants in cities such as Denver, Charleston, Nashville, Portland, Richmond and Vancouver all earned a place in North America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025.

William Drew, director of content for North America’s 50 Best Restaurants, says: “We are thrilled to unveil the inaugural list of North America’s 50 Best Restaurants, celebrating the extraordinary diversity, creativity and excellence that define the region’s dining scene. From pioneering fine-dining institutions to bold new voices, this list reflects the rich culinary landscape of the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. We’re proud to honor these exceptional restaurants and the individuals who bring them to life. We also want to send our warmest congratulations to the incredible team at Atomix, who have made history as the very first to hold the No.1 position on North America’s 50 Best Restaurants ranking.”

Esteemed Montreal chef Normand Laprise has been awarded the Icon Award 2025, sponsored by Lavazza, in recognition of his impact on gastronomy. As the visionary behind Montreal’s Toqué!, Laprise has long championed local and seasonal ingredients, earning international acclaim for his innovative cuisine.

Executive pastry chef and partner at Moon Rabbit (No.17), in Washington DC, Susan Bae has been named North America’s Best Pastry Chef 2025, sponsored by Valrhona. She is celebrated for her exceptional craft and boundary-pushing approach to luxury patisserie, combining unconventional flavors with artistic precision. Her intricate, thoughtfully composed desserts have set a new standard in modern pastry.

Vanya Filipovic, wine director at Mon Lapin (No.2) in Montreal, has been named North America’s Best Sommelier 2025 for her deep wine knowledge and intuitive pairings. A champion of low-intervention wines, she also runs Les Vins Dame-Jeanne, sourcing natural wines from across Europe for Quebec.

Michael Cimarusti, co-owner and chef of Providence (No.47) in Los Angeles, has been awarded the Estrella Damm Chefs’ Choice Award 2025, the only accolade voted for exclusively by fellow chefs. The honor recognizes his lasting impact on modern gastronomy and his unwavering commitment to sustainability and seafood.

SingleThread (No. 8) in Healdsburg has been awarded the Sustainable Restaurant Award, recognizing its deep and ongoing commitment to environmentally conscious hospitality. Led by Kyle and Katina Connaughton, the restaurant integrates regenerative agriculture, including no-till farming and zero-waste practices, alongside strong community engagement. By prioritizing seasonal, estate-grown ingredients and maintaining a closed-loop connection between its farm, kitchen and guest experience, SingleThread sets a global benchmark for sustainable fine dining.

Chutatip ‘Nok’ Suntaranon, chef-owner of Kalaya (No.7) in Philadelphia, has been awarded the North America’s Best Female Chef Award, recognizing her outstanding culinary talent, leadership and impact on the Northeastern U.S. dining scene. Known for her vibrant Thai cooking, Suntaranon has introduced diners to a deeply personal expression of southern Thai flavors, rooted in family tradition and reimagined through refined technique.

The evening also recognized recipients of special awards announced in the months preceding the awards ceremony, including Asmeret Berhe-Lumax, founder of One Love Community Fridge and winner of the Champions of Change Award; Tanière3 (No.5), honored with the Art of Hospitality Award, sponsored by Lee K*m Kee; and Ladder 4 in Detroit, which received the Resy One To Watch Award.

27/09/2025

The Michelin Guide Tokyo has once again honored SÉZANNE, the celebrated French restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi, with a three-star rating on September 25, 2025. This marks the second consecutive year that Chef Daniel Calvert and his team have received the Michelin Guide’s highest recognition, further cementing SÉZANNE’s position among the world’s most acclaimed dining destinations.

SÉZANNE’s rapid ascent has been nothing short of remarkable. The restaurant captured its first Michelin star within six months of its debut in 2021, secured a second star the following year, and reached the prestigious three-star level in 2024. In addition to this renewed honor, 2025 has already been a banner year for the restaurant, which earned the #7 spot on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and was named Best Restaurant in Japan by Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Chef Daniel Calvert expressed gratitude to the Michelin Guide and to the community that supports SÉZANNE’s ongoing journey. “Our restaurant thrives because it never stands still. We are constantly seeking new flavors and ideas, while staying committed to uncompromising quality,” he said. “I’m deeply proud of the team and thankful for the partnerships across Japan that shape our culinary identity.”

General Manager Jens Wycisk echoed this sentiment, praising the team’s philosophy and commitment: “SÉZANNE continues to excel because every detail reflects thoughtful intention – from sourcing local ingredients to the way our staff connects with guests. It is a triumph of passion and precision.”

Set within Tokyo’s bustling Marunouchi district, SÉZANNE captivates diners with contemporary French cuisine inspired by classical roots, infused with premium Japanese ingredients, and complemented by a distinguished selection of Champagne, wines, and sake. The elegant dining room, designed by acclaimed architect Andre Fu, blends French sophistication with Japanese sensibilities, creating an environment of understated luxury. Guests are invited into a refined yet welcoming space where the artistry of Chef Daniel’s kitchen is revealed through both the open show kitchen and the immersive Chef’s Table Private Room.

Chef Daniel’s personal journey from England to the culinary capitals of Paris, New York, and Hong Kong reflects his dedication and distinctive style. With formative experiences at prestigious three-Michelin-star restaurants such as Per Se in New York and Epicure at Le Bristol Paris, he has developed a globally influenced, authentic, and innovative approach that continues to define SÉZANNE’s success.

LaugarĂĄs Lagoon is transforming the typical Icelandic thermal bath experience, celebrating the surrounding natural world...
18/09/2025

Laugarás Lagoon is transforming the typical Icelandic thermal bath experience, celebrating the surrounding natural world and Iceland’s local produce across two extraordinary levels.

This autumn, Gísli Matt - the chef who put Icelandic archipelago Vestmannaeyjar on the global culinary map - brings his revolutionary approach from the acclaimed SLIPPURINN restaurant (2012-2025) to Ylja restaurant at Laugarás Lagoon, Iceland’s first cascading waterfall geothermal destination.

At Ylja, meaning ‘warmth’ in Icelandic, Gísli is crafting an entirely new restaurant concept, sourcing hyper-locally from the village of Laugarás itself.

Gísli Matt’s approach

Gísli Matt’s philosophy centres on modern techniques and classic local ingredients, sourcing directly from neighbouring farms and geothermal greenhouses in Laugarás village. Matt says: “The Laugarás area has such a unique character - the possibilities with geothermal heat are inspiring. What excites me most is the chance to work with the incredible producers in the region, who are growing and raising things with so much care.”

Menus will shift with Iceland’s dramatic seasons, featuring wild herbs, seaweeds, and berries.

“I also feel a strong urge to prove that a project of this scale can be done in true partnership with nature - minimising waste, and showing that sustainability and ambition can go together.”

Ylja: From casual through to fine dining

Ylja offers distinctive dining that mirrors the natural rhythm of the lagoon journey. During the day until 4pm, guests enjoy light options including the Ylja soupboard featuring herbal pesto, tomato salad, and freshly baked bread. Two-course options are available, with seasonal offerings that might include the likes of slow-cooked cod with herb sauce and dulse seaweed, or grilled lamb leg with pearl barley, finishing with signature skyr and white chocolate mousse. The grab-and-go section ensures quick, quality options throughout the day.

The wine list has been carefully curated, covering a wide range of grapes and varieties, including organic and natural wines. Smaller producers and winemakers tell their stories through their wines, and endless pairing options. Just like the dishes, Ylja’s beverages evolve with the seasons and farmers markets, resulting in a dynamic, ever-changing selection.

From 5pm, Ylja transforms into a sophisticated fine dining spot, showcasing Gísli’s artistry through two five-course journeys evolving with the harvest, showcasing the nation’s finest produce. Think cured arctic char with horseradish cream and slow-cooked cod loin with herbal sauce, and grilled celeriac “steak” with pearl barley and almond miso.

The restaurant’s commitment to sustainable sourcing means that advance reservations help the kitchen plan precisely for minimal waste while maintaining its hyper-local ethos. Guests who pre-book both lagoon and restaurant visits support this sustainable approach.

Cocktails that capture Iceland’s essence

The bar programme, led by an expert beverage team, crafts cocktails that embody the Laugarás landscape. The signature Laugarás Highball blends Himbrimi pure Icelandic gin with citrusy lemon verbena and bright wood sorrel, lifted by rosemary and lavender, grounded with sage - each sip is “like a breath of Laugarás”.

Innovation drives every creation: Spice & Smoke transforms the margarita with tequila, green tomatoes, and fermented brine, clarified with birch-smoked milk. Coffee & Rye reinvents the Espresso Martini using brown butter-washed Rye BrennivĂ­n and coffee liqueur made from spent grounds, topped with caramel foam from leftover filtered coffee - zero waste, maximum character.

Strawberries & Sorrel showcases greenhouse-grown strawberries with wood sorrel over vanilla skyr-washed Katla Vodka, while Lemon Verbena & Lavender reimagines the classic Martini with Himbrimi Gin infused with locally grown lemon verbena and lavender-infused vermouth.

World-class dining and wellness

Beyond the Ă  la carte offerings, Ylja provides intimate group gatherings for 10+. The private dining room accommodates up to 38 guests with artwork by Icelandic artist Sigmundur Freysteinsson, Wi-Fi, and projection capabilities - perfect for everything from corporate events to milestone celebrations.

The restaurant seats 80 indoors with additional outdoor space overlooking the lagoon’s therapeutic waters.

An all-new way to see the Northern Lights

The extraordinary combination of lagoon bathing, Aurora viewing, and Gísli Matt’s cuisine creates an unparalleled Nordic encounter. Opening perfectly timed for Northern Lights season (October-December and February-March), Ylja offers a magical culinary adventure. In October, guests can enjoy the lagoon until the last entry at 7:30pm (closing at 9pm), followed by fine dining (last restaurant seating at 9pm, closing approximately 10:30pm).

The Ösp deluxe package (available 11am-5pm) includes a two-course journey through Gísli Matt’s seasonal menu alongside full lagoon access for ISK 15,900, creating an unforgettable Northern Lights season experience.

Guests can move seamlessly from soothing geothermal waters through Iceland’s pristine wilderness to dynamic, world-class cuisine. This joyful celebration of the nation’s heritage reimagines the future - every ingredient telling the story of Laugarás village while every cocktail captures the essence of this completely unique landscape.

Christmas at Ylja: From 20th November 2025

As the festive season approaches, Chef GĂ­sli Matt will create an enchanting Christmas menu that will transform every visit into a treasured memory for travellers during he winter season. The unique combination of relaxation amongst nature and masterful local cooking makes Ylja a memorable setting for an extraordinary Christmas. Available from 20th November, Thursday - Sunday.

Waldorf Astoria Chengdu is delighted to announce that its signature dining destination, Infinite Luck Chinese Restaurant, has been recognized as Michelin-Selected restaurant in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Chengdu. Celebrated for its inspired interpretation of Sichuan cuisine and refined guest experience, Infinite Luck proudly carries forward Waldorf Astoria’s storied culinary legacy on the global stage.

Perched on the 50th floor of the hotel, Infinite Luck Chinese Restaurant takes its name from the auspicious meanings of “Fortune and Prosperity”. Guests are welcomed not only with panoramic views of Chengdu’s Twin Tower skyline but also with an immersive dining experience that intertwines flavor, artistry, and cultural storytelling. Its recognition in the MICHELIN Guide Chengdu stands as a testament to the restaurant’s continuous pursuit of excellence in cuisine, ingredients, and service.

At the helm is Executive Chef Tony Yang, a Chengdu native with over three decades of devotion to Sichuan gastronomy. A true master of the region’s 24 traditional flavors, Chef Yang’s career spans historic kitchens such as Rongle Garden and Jinjiang Hotel, culminating in his leadership at Waldorf Astoria Chengdu.

Together with his team, he has journeyed across Sichuan’s mountains, rivers, and farmlands in search of the region’s most distinctive treasures—Jianmen chicken, Liangshan pork, Ya’an Ya fish, and Pujiang duck—transforming them into signature dishes like Camphor Tea-Smoked Gourd “Pu River” Duck, Guaiwei Crispy Wagyu Beef Short Ribs, and Yaan Fish Soup and Handmade Fish Balls with Sichuan Herb served with Deep Fried Fish Chao Shou.

Beyond its culinary innovation, Infinite Luck elevates the guest experience through tableside chef presentations, artisan tea and wine pairings, and storytelling that shares the cultural heritage behind each dish. Each seating becomes a harmonious encounter of taste, tradition, and artistry.

Since its inception, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts has been synonymous with culinary excellence. From the iconic Red Velvet Cake and Eggs Benedict to the classic Waldorf Salad, the brand has created timeless dishes beloved worldwide. Today, as the legendary Waldorf Astoria culinary philosophy meets Sichuan’s thousand-year gastronomic culture, it sparks a renewed journey of taste and artistry. With its rich gastronomic heritage, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts continues to earn global recognition from MICHELIN: Waldorf Astoria Beijing’s Zijin Mansion and Waldorf Astoria Ximen’s HOKKLO have each been awarded one MICHELIN Star, Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam’s Spectrum holds Two MICHELIN Stars, and La Pergola at Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel, proudly bears the distinction of Three MICHELIN Stars. Now, with the accolade awarded to Waldorf Astoria Chengdu’s Infinite Luck Chinese Restaurant, this illustrious legacy shines even brighter in China’s Southwest.

New restaurant 1812 planned for Stalham in Norfolk Broads

A restaurant in the Broads is preparing for a major relaunch with a fine dining focus and a Michelin-starred trained chef at the helm.

Formerly The Mermaid's Slipper, the eatery located on Staithe Road in Stalham is being rebranded as Restaurant 1812.

The name marks the year the property was first built.

During restoration work the team uncovered an original kiln and flint walls, which have been incorporated into the redesign.

Leading the kitchen is 35-year-old chef Lee Tyler, who trained under Gordon Ramsay and Simon Rogan at his Lake District restaurant L'Enclume, which holds three Michelin stars.

Joël Watanabe of Kissa Tanto’s Exceptional Vancouver
The chef’s multicultural cuisine reflects his own heritage, as well as the rich diversity that Canada is known for.

Raised in Canada’s capital with French and Japanese roots, Chef Joël Watanabe embodies the multicultural spirit of Vancouver.

His MICHELIN-recommended restaurant Bao Bei has served Chinese cuisine with French techniques for 15 years, and Kissa Tanto has brought together some of the best of Japanese and Italian flavors for over a decade. With thoughtfully creative dishes like plum wine-soaked tofu tiramisu, the restaurant has rightfully earned One MICHELIN Star every year since The MICHELIN Guide first debuted in Vancouver. Both restaurants celebrate the region’s delicious local ingredients, from foraged mushrooms to celeriac.

Below, we spoke to Chef Watanabe about his favorite restaurants in Vancouver and his own impact on the city’s dining scene.

What makes the Vancouver dining scene special?
There's a real density of quality food for such a small population. We have a very exceptional, world-class dining scene. For the amount of people that live in this city, it far exceeds the ratio of good restaurants to residents. Really amazing Chinese food. The last 15 years have really become quite impressive.

How would you describe Canadian cuisine?
A real hodgepodge of immigrant food, just like anywhere in North America because we're all new to this land at some point.

Chef discusses his vegan bistro, Asia's 1st to earn Michelin star

Once considered a challenging city for vegans, Seoul offers diverse options that reflect a growing embrace of sustainability and global food trends.

The bistro Legume serves 100% plant-based cuisine while promoting sustainability through zero-waste recipes and the use of upcycled kitchenware. Opened in 2023, the establishment received its first Michelin star in this year's Michelin Guide Seoul & Busan, Asia's first vegan restaurant to earn this distinction.

Under the leadership of owner Sung Si-woo, who spent a decade as head chef at the acclaimed Seoul restaurant Soigne, Legume is a platform for sustainable gastronomy through vegan dishes that showcase locally sourced ingredients.

On March 20, Sung released his first cookbook "The Vegan Pantry," featuring recipes inspired by his journey and passion for vegan cooking.
