The prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards ceremony will be held in Singapore on 28 March 2023.
For the first time since 2019, the event will witness a full-scale, in-person attendance of gastronomy enthusiasts from across the world who would come together to celebrate the outstanding culinary diversity of Asia.
The 2023 edition also marks the 10-year anniversary of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. Interestingly, Singapore is where the awards ceremony made its debut in 2013.
“It is fitting that we are returning to the city where Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants was launched in 2013 and further reinforces our original aim: to celebrate great restaurants, great chefs and reward culinary excellence across the continent,” William Drew, Director of Content for Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, said in a statement.
