The Top Rated Restaurants Around The World, According To Tripadvisor

Dining is a huge part of travel, so Tripadvisor, the world’s largest travel guidance platform, today announced the next in its community-powered Travelers’ Choice® Awards series: the 2022 Best of the Best Restaurants. Here are the top-rated spots across the globe, inclusive of six different subcategories of restaurant types. Diners can peruse the menu of winners here: tripadvisor.com/TravelersChoice-Restaurants.

Award-winning restaurants this year spanned six continents and 51 countries. Global labor challenges and ongoing COVID-19 restrictions continued to limit dine-in capacity in some markets; for instance, some Asian nations were closed to international tourists for nearly the entire data evaluation period. Still, gourmands the world over savored dining out, leaving millions of reviews on Tripadvisor chronicling their experiences.

“More than half of consumers in a recent survey* told us that food is the most exciting component of their trip,” said Lauren Murphy, Vice President, GM of Hospitality Solutions at Tripadvisor.
