The 14th edition of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, will be returning to London’s historic Guildhall for a prestigious ceremony on Monday 1st June, 2015.

The awards provide an annual snapshot of the world’s gastronomic scene; a globally recognised and respected reference point which showcases leading trends and highlights culinary treasures from all corners of the Earth.

The ceremony will see the prestigious awards for World’s Best Restaurant and World’s Best Female Chef be announced. The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list will also be presented during the upcoming ceremony.

The list is created from the votes of The Diners Club® World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy, an influential group of almost 1,000 international leaders in the restaurant community. The Academy comprises 27 separate regions around the world (including Africa).

The panel in each region is made up of food writers and critics, chefs, restaurateurs and highly regarded ‘gastronomes’. Members list their choices in order of preference, based on their best restaurant experiences of the previous 18 months.

In 2014, 49 of the 50 restaurants on the list attended the gala event, which saw Copenhagen restaurant Noma regain the title of The S.Pellegrino World’s Best Restaurant.
