20 Top International Restaurants, According to the Experts

Food & Wine Magazine

April 2, 2024

From a restaurant on a farm in Nairobi to contemporary fine dining in Athens, these are the best international restaurants, as voted by our panel of judges.

Authenticity is key when it comes to a groundbreaking restaurant. There are hundreds of thousands around the globe, but few stand out as truly unforgettable experiences. The perfect mix of food with dynamic flavor, unmatched hospitality, and a permeable personality that makes an institution one-of-a-kind also presents a dining experience that’s special — and that’s what we’re here to celebrate.

Many of this year’s winners are helmed by ambitious young chefs who came up the ranks at famous, award-winning restaurants. Another common thread is an emphasis on local, farm-to-table, or foraged ingredients, natural wines, and an eye toward sustainability.

Some are making a conscious effort to uplift the overlooked cuisines of marginalized communities. All of them are delivering delicious experiences that will have you ready to jump on a flight.
