L’autenticità è fondamentale quando si tratta di un ristorante innovativo. Ce ne sono centinaia di migliaia in tutto il mondo, ma pochi si distinguono come esperienze davvero indimenticabili. Il mix perfetto di cibo dal sapore dinamico, ospitalità senza eguali e una personalità permeabile che rende un’istituzione unica nel suo genere offre anche un’esperienza culinaria speciale – ed è ciò che siamo qui per celebrare. Il secondo Global Tastemakers Awards annuale di Food & Wine celebra una selezione davvero diversificata di ristoranti in tutto il mondo, tra cui un caffè di ispirazione iraniana a Bombay, un ristorante in una fattoria a Nairobi, un tapas bar estremamente creativo a Barcellona, ​​un piccolo izakaya a Tokyo e una pizzeria all’avanguardia a Caserta. La scelta spazia dai ristoranti stellati Michelin con menu degustazione progressivi alle strutture più piccole a conduzione familiare. Molti dei vincitori di quest’anno sono guidati da giovani chef ambiziosi che hanno fatto carriera in ristoranti famosi e pluripremiati. Un altro filo conduttore è l’enfasi sugli ingredienti locali, dal campo alla tavola o foraggiati, sui vini naturali e un occhio verso la sostenibilità. Molti di questi ristoranti approfondiscono le tradizioni culinarie della regione in cui si trovano. Alcuni stanno facendo uno sforzo consapevole per migliorare le cucine trascurate delle comunità emarginate. Tutti offrono esperienze deliziose che ti terranno pronto a saltare su un volo.
Ecco 20 ristoranti eccezionali da tutto il mondo che offrono piatti deliziosi, un’atmosfera meravigliosa e un’esperienza complessivamente indimenticabile – e la nostra scelta più una, ovvero un ristorante che non figurava nell’elenco iniziale votato dalla nostra giuria, ma dovrebbe sicuramente essere sul tuo radar.
