Steirereck in Vienna is once again among the best restaurants in the world

The best restaurant of the year 2025 is located in Peru, according to an international ranking. The establishment "Maido" in the Peruvian capital Lima tops the list of the 50 best restaurants in the world, which was published on Thursday by the British publishing group William Reed. Austria is also represented in the ranking again this year: The Steirereck in Vienna made it to the 33rd place in the renowned best list this time.

Steirereck in Vienna summarized as "Austria on the Plate"

The cuisine at Steirereck was summarized as "Austria on the Plate." There, one receives "a history lesson of Austrian gastronomy with contemporary flair," it was further stated.

The Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant Maido, which finds itself in first place this year, was founded 16 years ago by chef Mitsuharu Tsumura. "The fusion of flavors at Maido is spectacular," said 33-year-old Valentina Mora on site to the news agency AFP. The two following places on the list were occupied by a Basque restaurant in Spain and an establishment in Mexico City.

Best Restaurants in the World: List has existed since 2002

The "50 Best" list was first published in 2002. It quickly established itself as an international alternative to the French restaurant guide "Guide Michelin." According to the publishers, more than a thousand "independent experts," including chefs, specialist journalists, and restaurant owners, participate in the voting for the annual ranking of the 50 best restaurants in the world.

The list is repeatedly criticized as non-transparent, especially by French chefs. At the same time, the list has the reputation of recognizing the latest trends in gastronomy earlier than the French "Guide Michelin."
