The diamond-tier honor of the food world, the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants,” is initiated by a renowned British food magazine and has a 15-year history. Restaurants that make the list are undoubtedly top-tier in terms of flavor. This year, the awards ceremony will move from London, UK, to Melbourne, Australia, and will be held in conjunction with the city’s annual culinary extravaganza, the “Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.”

▲ Three Australian restaurants on the shortlist.

The “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” is a list of favorites voted on by over a thousand international food authorities, including food critics, food writers, and renowned chefs, based on their best dining experiences over the past 18 months. Melbourne, Australia, is regarded as a culinary capital by many food lovers, with its diverse food culture widely celebrated. From the first cup of coffee in the morning, every detail is carefully considered. Rich, full-bodied coffee is an indispensable part of life in Melbourne, and fine wines, delicious food, and the beautiful surrounding scenery further enhance the flavors of the cuisine.

▲ Chef Ben Shewry’s dishes are like works of art.

Among them, the Australian restaurant Attica, which has made the list for three consecutive years, has become the most iconic name in the local food scene. Even René Redzepi, chef of Noma — which has won the title of World’s Best Restaurant multiple times — couldn’t help but praise: “When you dine at Attica, it’s like tasting the living essence of all of Australia.” Chef Ben Shewry was born in New Zealand and grew up on a coastal farm. He loves growing his own ingredients and excels at cooking vegetables and seafood. To enjoy his exceptional dishes, advance reservations are a must.

▲ The chef has an in-depth understanding of seafood ingredients, crafting one sweet and delicious dish after another.
