Tripadvisor just released one of its most popular annual reports: Best of the Best Restaurants and Food.

The list showcases the crème de la crème of street food, fine dining, pop-ups, diners, restaurants, and mom-and-pop projects. What makes Tripadvisor lists like these so cool? They’re guided by actual traveler reviews, meaning each has been vetted by globetrotters like you and me.
Best of all, Tripadvisor breaks down its rankings based on category, meaning you won’t see Taiwanese street food vendors listed alongside Michelin restaurants in Durban. There’s even a hidden gems section, in case you prefer to stay far off the tourist track—and a cooking classes and food tours section (separate) for those who like to get hands-on.
Without further ado, here’s a closer look at the best restaurants and eats in the world from Tripadvisor. The final selections represent fewer than 1% of the total restaurants listed on the website, meaning they beat out around eight million listings to make the short list(s).
Best restaurants in the world based on Tripadvisor reviews from the last year
Head to the Tripadvisor report and you’ll see its range of categories: fine dining, viral hits, casual dining, date night spots, hidden gems, vegan and vegetarian, and then its cooking classes/food and drink tours.
You can dig in based on your interests—I’m sticking to the best fine dining, casual dining, and hidden gems. (For now.) Hope you’re planning a trip to Hoan Kiem, Vietnam, or Rome soon! You’ll have plenty to bite into.
