The South American restaurant just crowned best in the world for 2025

A couple of weeks after announcing their annual list of the world's 51-100 best restaurants, the much-anticipated guide to the best of the best has landed. World's 50 Best announced their winners at a ceremony in Turin last night, and Maido, a restaurant in Lima, Peru, was named the best restaurant on the planet. It's the 23rd edition of the awards, and restaurants from 32 cities across 22 different countries made the ranking, including 10 new entries. So, what's Maido doing that makes it better than all those brilliant spots? The restaurant takes its name from a Japanese phrase used by people to greet each other: 'maido', and is run by chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, the son of Japanese immigrants who formally trained in the US. Recommended: These are the best cities in the world for food, according to Time Out. He then spent time in Osaka mastering the techniques now utilised at this place, and it's resulted in a dazzling blend of Peruvian Amazon flavours cooked with Japanese methods. Think a miniature jaune parcel of pork jowl and palm heart, or yucca served up with Amazonian beans. 'I can't describe it in words really. It's a mix of feelings… All the hard work, all the difficult moments, making people understand what we were doing, and now seeing what we've done with Nikkei cuisine and Peruvian cuisine… with hospitality. Making people happy has always been what I've loved doing,' said Tsumura, after the win. 'I think the most beautiful act of love is to cook for somebody. It's the most beautiful thing that has happened in my life. It's been 11 years [being ranked on The World's 50 Best Restaurants] and it's a dream come true.' Three other restaurants in Lima made the World's 50 Best list – Kjolle, Mérito and Mayta. Read on for all of the outstanding inclusions for 2025. These are officially the world's 50 best restaurants Maido, Lima, Peru Asador Etxebarri, Atxondo, Spain Quintonil, Mexico City, Mexico Diverxo, Madrid, Spain Alchemist, Copenhagen, Denmark Gaggan, Bangkok, Thailand Sézanne, Tokyo, Japan Table by Bruno Verjus, Paris, France Kjolle, Lima, Peru Don Julio, Buenos Aires, Argentina Wing, Hong Kong, China Atomix, New York, United States Potong, Bangkok, Thailand Plénitude, Paris, France Ikoyi, London, United Kingdom Lido 84, Gardone Riviera, Italy Sorn, Bangkok, Thailand Reale, Castel di Sangro, Italy The Chairman, Hong Kong, China Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler, Brunico, Italy Narisawa, Tokyo, Japan Sühring, Bangkok, Thailand Boragó, Santiago, Chile Elkano, Getaria, Spain Odette, Singapore, Singapore Mérito, Lima, Peru Trèsind Studio, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Lasai, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Mingles, Seoul, South Korea Le Du, Bangkok, Thailand Le Calandre, Rubano, Italy Piazza Duomo, Alba, Italy Steirereck, Vienna, Austria Enigma, Barcelona, Spain Nusara, Bangkok, Thailand Florilège, Tokyo, Japan Orfali Bros, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Frantzén, Stockholm, Sweden Mayta, Lima, Peru Septime, Paris, France Kadeau, Copenhagen, Denmark Belcanto, Lisbon, Portugal Uliassi, Senigallia, Italy La Cime, Osaka, Japan Arpège, Paris, France Rosetta, Mexico City, Mexico Vyn, Skillinge, Sweden Celele, Cartagena, Colombia Kol, London, United Kingdom Jan, Munich, Germany Did you see that the best pizzerias in Europe have been crowned for 2025?

This Miami chef took home a James Beard Award last night, just a year after his sister won

If you needed extra proof that culinary bonafides run in the Chang family, last night you got it. At the 35th annual James Beard Foundation awards—which were held on Monday, June 16 at the Lyric Opera in Chicago—Nando Chang of Itamae AO took home the coveted medal in the Best Chef: South category, following closely in the footsteps of his sister Valerie, who won the exact same award a year earlier for her own acclaimed kitchen work over at Maty's. The Chang siblings, as well as their father Fernando, opened the first iteration of Itamae in 2018, when it was a mere food counter at the then-St. Roch Market (now known as MIA Market) in the Design District. The original counter—which served Nikkei cuisine, a delicious fusion of Peruvian and Japanese food—eventually grew into a standalone restaurant across the Palm Court, before it closed in 2023 so both Nando and Valerie could work on their own solo concepts. For Valerie, that was Maty's, a Peruvian charmer named for their grandmother and for Nando, Itamae AO, a 10-seat omakase counter directly connected to its sister restaurant (literally) that turns out a beautiful and beguiling tasting menu of Japanese-Peruvian bites. Nando's refined reimaginings earned the Miami restaurant its first-ever Michelin star earlier this year, so the James Beard sparkler is simply another glorious garnish on top of one tasty year. Itamae AO was one of two Miami-based finalists among this year's James Beard nominees, with ViceVersa—the aperitivo bar off the lobby of the Elser Hotel in downtown Miami—being recognized in the Best New Bar category. Alas, that local haunt was ultimately beat out by Identidad Cocktail Bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Prior to Valerie Chang's 2024 victory in the Best Chef: South category, and her bro's subsequent win a year after, a Miami-based chef hadn't taken home a James Beard Award since all the way back in 2010. Along with the Miami nods, Florida also saw two other finalists this year: Sue Chin and Jason Chin of Orlando's Good Salt Restaurant Group (Seito Sushi, Reyes Mezcaleria, The Osprey, and others) in the Outstanding Restaurateur category, and Winter Park's Ômo by Jônt in the Best New Restaurant category. Congrats to all of our Florida winners and finalists!
