In a historic first, Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants has announced the 2021 list of restaurants ranked from 51st-100th. The move is designed to shine a light on a wider array of establishments across the region to inspire food lovers as they consider their future dining and travel plans.

William Drew, Director of Content at Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, says: “This year we have decided to publish the list of restaurants ranked from 51-100, created from the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants voting process, in order to recognise a greater number of venues than ever before. The global pandemic has been devastating for hospitality and it is vital that we support restaurants across Asia in their recovery.”
