Just weeks before The 50 Best Restaurants 2026 selection is announced in Peru’s capital Lima, an extended list covering positions 51-100 has also been unveiled – with 20 European restaurants featured.

The extended list features restaurants from 36 cities across six continents, after votes by more than 1,100 international restaurant experts including chefs, food writers and culinary specialists.

Europe is the most represented region with 20 restaurants across 11 countries making the cut, followed by 17 from Asia, six from North America, three from South America, two from Africa and two from the Middle East.

At No.51, Uliassi in Senigallia, Italy, is Europe’s highest-ranking restaurant on the extended list.

France’s entries are Arpège (No.67) and Septime (No.81) in Paris, alongside Le Doyenné in Saint-Vrain (No.84).
