This year we saw two restaurants from the UK make it onto the list of 2022 winners

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants has revealed its top dining establishments in the world, following an award ceremony held in London which was hosted by the one and only Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada, The King’s Man).

A recent ruling change from 2019 meant that former winners of the highly coveted number one spot were no longer eligible to place first again, ruling out high profile contenders like Noma, in Copenhagen, which had won for the fifth time in 2021 after it moved to a new location with a revamped menu.

This is what you need to know about the 2022 winners.

Which restaurant won?

Geranium in Copenhagen has been named as the World’s Best Restaurant 2022 and the Best Restaurant in Europe 2022.

The restaurant, led by chef Rasmus Kofoed, had previously been voted the number two restaurant in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021.

Geranium was the first Danish restaurant to win three Michelin stars, and, earlier this year, Kofoed made the choice to make Geranium a meat-free zone, choosing to focus solely on local seafood and vegetables from organic and biodynamic farms in Denmark and Scandinavia.

The restaurant boasts an ever changing seasonal “Universe” tasting menu that takes place over a minimum of three hours with around 20 courses split evenly between appetisers, savoury dishes and desserts.
