The World’s 50 Best Restaurants: Must Visit in Asia

Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet 50 best restaurants

Asia’s culinary status shined superbly at the The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards 2019. The different restaurants that made it to the prestigious list offer diverse cuisine, techniques and unique concepts sealing their remarkable recognition. Each restaurant featured here is not simply somewhere to eat, but a spectacular dining destination for stunning décor, amazing views and unforgettable experiences. Best yet, some of these restaurants are not too far away from Macau so take note and put them on your list of “must visit” places whenever you’re in town!

Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet (Shanghai, China)

(See featured image)

Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet epitomizes exclusive to the highest level because they accommodate only 10 guests at the award-winning restaurant per night. Set in the exciting scene of Shanghai, this extraordinary restaurant offers a multi-sensory, high-tech dining experience through a combination of lighting, projections, sounds, scents, and of course, food. Founded in 2012 and in many ways still new to the scene, Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet however is currently considered by many to be the most avant-garde restaurant experience in the world. An immersive dining awaits in a secret city location, courtesy of the inimitable French chef-provocateur making this a sought after experience when in the city.

Suhring 2

Sühring (Bangkok, Thailand) 

A new entry to the illustrious list, Sühring showcases the best of modern German fare inspired by childhood memories, family recipes and years of travelling experience. Set in a serene neighborhood in Bangkok, the restaurant features a glass house overlooking a tropical garden, as well as an open kitchen where diners can see the chefs in action. Mathias and Thomas, the chefs at Sühring, has elevated the level of haute cuisine while also offering warm hospitality in a relaxed, yet elegant environment.

The Chairman HK

The Chairman (Hong Kong)

A rare gem in the food-filled city of Hong Kong, The Chairman is tucked away in the corner of Kau U giving its location an added flair of mystery. While Cantonese cuisine has a history of two thousand years, it has evolved in so many ways with various influences. What makes The Chairman stand out? Their use of locally sourced ingredients is admirable but it’s their non-use of shark’s fin, sea cucumber and bird’s nest on their menu which makes them even more admirable and eco-friendly.

Among the crowd favorites are The Chairman’s razor clams steamed with aged lemon and mixed herbs, and the smoked baby pigeon with Longjing tea and chrysanthemum. It is prepared traditionally with 20 day young pigeons until the bones are tender. Chef Kwok Keung Tung’s steamed flowery crab in aged Shaoxing wine and chicken oil with flat rice noodles holds a special spot on the menu for many first time diners leaving a lasting impression.

Gaggan

Gaggan (Bangkok, Thailand)

Gaggan has consistently been recognized as one of the best restaurants in Asia. The restaurant run by Chef Gaggan Anand in Bangkok, Thailand has a reputable line-up of awards to boast but you need to book fast because it’s closing in June 2020 and foodies around the world are rushing for reservations. Chef Gaggan has sought to refine Indian food to the same fine dining level as seen by other styles of cuisine such as French or Japanese within Thailand and has achieved it at a superlative level. The restaurant is located in a former 19th century townhouse so start planning and if you’re a fan of the chef get ready for his new dining venture in Fukuoka, Japan with partner Takeshi Fukuyama, which will draw on Buddhist principles.
