The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards represent the opinions of over 900 international leaders in the restaurant industry, each selected for their expert opinion of the international restaurant scene. What constitutes as “best” is left to the judgment of these trusted and well-travelled gourmets. These individuals make up The Diners Club International® World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy which represents 26 separate regions around the world. Each region has its own panel of 36 members including a chairperson. The panel includes food critics, chefs, restaurateurs and highly regarded ‘gastronomes’ each of whom has seven votes.
