Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants has just announced its list for 2026!

This year’s awards ceremony was held in Hong Kong, in the Kerry Hotel. 

These results follow the extended Nos. 51 to 100 list, which was released on March 12, and saw four Singapore restaurants featured.

Firstly, we have The Chairman in Hong Kong being crowned No. 1 in the region.

Then, we have Bangkok as the city with the most honours, with nine of its restaurants finding their way onto the list — that’s almost 20% of the list!

Doing Singapore proud, French outfit Odette came in at No. 19, and was also named the best restaurant in Singapore.
