2023 Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Awards
Reveal Travelers' Top-Rated Eateries
Amsterdam Home to World's Best Fine Dining;
NYC Restaurant Tops U.S.
NEEDHAM,
Mass., Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
TripadvisorⓇ, the world's largest travel guidance
platform, today announces its final Travelers'
ChoiceⓇ Award for 2023: Best of the Best
Restaurants. As Tripadvisor's latest seasonal travel data
indicates, food is the most exciting factor of upcoming trips –
over two-thirds of travelers will prioritize food (67%) during
their fall travels1. To help guide those planning with
their stomachs, Tripadvisor is delivering this year's best places
to eat in top travel destinations around the world.
The 2023 awards feature a full menu of seven subcategories, from
classic favorites like Fine Dining and Everyday Eats to those fit
for a special occasion like Date Night and Hidden Gem Restaurants.
The awards also include two brand-new lists for 2023,
honoring travelers' favorite Family-Friendly and Vegetarian
Restaurants. Revealing the top restaurants globally based on the
quality and quantity of traveler reviews left on Tripadvisor from
June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023, this year's winners span six
continents, 58 countries and a whopping 478 different destinations,
forming a list that appeals to a diversity of tastes. Notably, the
"melting pot," New York City,
prevails as the city with the most winners.
On the prestigious Fine Dining list, Restaurant
Bougainville in Amsterdam, which
ranked No. 13 in Europe last year,
shot all the way to No. 1 in the world for 2023, thanks in part to
its crowd–favorite course tasting menu, potato dish and wagyu,
alongside the venue's "brilliant experience," according to
Tripadvisor reviews. The top 25 Fine Dining restaurants in the
world for 2023 feature a blend of new winners and familiar
favorites, from Hong Kong's
Cantonese-flavored Tin Lung Heen to Brazil's authentic Oro Restaurante.
In the U.S, New York City's
iconic French seafood establishment Le
Bernardin, helmed by chef Eric
Ripert, is No. 1 for Fine Dining. Though this three Michelin
star restaurant did not rank on Tripadvisor's list in 2022, it is
also No. 23 in the world this year, and is the only U.S. restaurant
to appear on Tripadvisor's global Fine Dining list.
Tripadvisor's Hidden Gems list is perfect for wayfaring
travelers craving a deeper dive into the culture of a place. These
restaurants earn their under-the-radar status, headlined by
Restauracja Future & Wine in Warsaw at No. 1 for 2023. Focusing on a simple
cooking technique with seasonal flavors and high-quality
ingredients, Restauracja is beloved for its modern blend of Polish
and European cuisine.
Meanwhile, features like dietary restrictions are increasingly
important to prospective diners, accounting for 15% of all
questions asked in restaurant pages on Tripadvisor last
year2. As the top searched dietary restriction on the
site, Tripadvisor is recognizing travelers' favorite
Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants. Chia Vegan Restaurant in
Cusco shines No. 1 in the world with its focus on organic vegan
food, while The Studio in Hilton
Head is No. 1 in the U.S. As the name suggests, this unique
spot doubles as a studio promoting local artists.
Another new list for 2023, the best Family–Friendly
Restaurants, serves those searching for great places to eat
with kids both in the U.S. and around the world. This list of the
best-rated restaurants by families includes entirely kid-focused
spots like Pirate's Table Calabash Seafood Buffet in South Carolina alongside fun for the whole
family places like El Huaso Mirra in Chile.
"Restaurants provide a great way for travelers to get
immersed in a destination's history and culture. This year's
Travelers' Choice Restaurant winners—whose diversity and geographic
reach reflect the fact that the last remaining pandemic-era travel
restrictions have lifted—are especially exciting. We know
Tripadvisor travelers seek out first-hand intel and guidance, and
that's exactly the spirit of these lists: All of our winners were
selected not by professional food critics or editors, but by real
diners who have left their feedback on Tripadvisor within the past
year." – Sarah Firshein, Head of
Editorial at Tripadvisor
