The 50 Best brand is the leading authority in global gastronomy and the international drinks scene, showcasing worldwide trends and highlighting great restaurants and bars from all corners of the Earth.

Over the last 20 years, 50 Best has provided unrivalled guidance through its lists and events to gourmets and cocktail lovers, inspiring consumers to travel and discover restaurants and bars, unveiling up-and-coming chefs and bartenders, exploring culinary and drinks trends, and highlighting the subtlety and complexity of various cuisines and drinks cultures from around the world.

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants was created in 2002 as the brand’s first global review of once-in-a-lifetime dining experiences and has since been published annually. 

On this years’ list Scandinavia has Alchemist in Copenhagen on #8 and Franzen in Stockholm pn #35. Both excellent restaurants. Franzen has Guide Michelin ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and Alchemist ⭐️⭐️.

Alchemist Chef-owner Rasmus Munk believes food is a great way to communicate with people, so accompanies his cooking with statements and ideas about the world.

”When it comes to minimizing food waste, the industry has come a long way. I see it as my mission to take the discussion a step further and highlight the bigger picture. If we can make people stop and think, we are on the route towards change.”
