The 50 Best Restaurant awards were created in 2002 by Restaurant magazine, an English-language publication based in London. In 2010, the magazine sold the awards to William Reed Business Media and they are now published by the New York-based company, which also publishes Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. The awards list is compiled each year by a panel of international restaurant critics, food writers, and chefs. The forum is selected by Restaurant magazine, but it’s editorially independent after that, and the magazine doesn’t participate in the panel’s deliberations. The 50 Best Restaurant awards have been criticized for their methodology and for being too commercial, but they are still generally considered a respected list of top restaurants worldwide. The awards are presented at a ceremony in London, which has taken place since 2002. The awards were first presented in 1996 and have been held annually since then. The list was compiled by Restaurant magazine’s international panel of editors and journalists, who considered more than 1,000 restaurants across the globe before making their final decisions. The panel comprised a selection of international editors and journalists, including the editor-in-chief of Restaurant magazine. The judges visited each restaurant during their year-long deliberations and were not paid for their work. They were asked to consider restaurants from around the world open for at least 18 months to ensure “consistent quality and excellence” across all entries. The judges were also asked to consider restaurants that had “excellent food, service and atmosphere” to come up with a list of the best restaurants in the world.
