How this list works

Every restaurant here carries a recorded mention from World's 50 Best and sits among the most critically acclaimed restaurants we index in New York. Ordering is by total professional critic mentions, not user reviews or star averages.

A city with fewer than 5 recorded World's 50 Best restaurants gets no page, so this is a list we can stand behind rather than a page built to exist.
