The 50 Best Restaurants 2026 has published its places 51–100, with Shanghai’s Ling Long the highest new entry at No. 53. Uliassi in Senigallia is the only Italian restaurant on the list, at No. 51, while the top 50 is due to be announced in Lima on November 4.
The 2026 50 Best Restaurants ranking has released its places 51 to 100, with Uliassi in Senigallia the only Italian restaurant in this part of the list, at No. 51. The announcement precedes the reveal of positions 1–50, scheduled for Lima on November 4, and includes restaurants across 25 territories and 36 cities.
Ling Long in Shanghai is the highest new entry, debuting at No. 53. The ranking has nine new entries, each from a different city, according to La Cucina Italiana’s report. The list’s regional distribution includes 20 restaurants in Europe, 17 in Asia, six in North America, three in South America, two in Africa and two in the Middle East.
Uliassi, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant run by chef Mauro Uliassi and his sister Catia, is down eight places from No. 43 in 2025. Other high-placed restaurants include La Cime in Osaka at No. 52 and Nelita in São Paulo at No. 54. The list also features established restaurants such as Tokyo’s Narisawa at No. 59 and Arpège in Paris at No. 67.
Europe has 20 entries. The Ledbury in London returns to the 51–100 list at No. 83, its first appearance in this band since 2019, while Berlin has three restaurants: Nobelhart & Schmutzig at No. 76, Coda at No. 82 and Tim Raue at No. 85. The published ranking runs through Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María at No. 100.
A Broad Geographic Spread
The extended ranking gives readers a snapshot of the restaurants and cities represented before the ceremony establishes the positions from 1 to 50. Its 25 territories and 36 cities show how widely the list is distributed, with Asia accounting for 17 of the 50 places and Europe for 20.
For Italian restaurants, the 51–100 results offer a limited signal ahead of the main reveal: Uliassi is the sole Italian entry here, but the top 50 has not yet been announced. The final list could change the picture of Italian representation, and the extended ranking alone does not establish how the full 2026 list will compare with last year.

The Ranking Before Lima
The 50 Best list is announced in two portions: the places 51–100 come first, followed by the top 50 at the awards event. This year’s ceremony is scheduled for Lima on November 4. The 2025 top spot went to Maido in Lima, according to the source report.
Last year’s 51–100 group also had one Italian restaurant, Il Gatto Verde in Modena, which was ranked No. 92. The report notes that Il Gatto Verde was among 12 new entries in 2025; this year’s list has nine. These figures describe the extended ranking, not necessarily the full set of new entries across the eventual top 100.
The Top 50 Is Still Pending
The positions from 1 to 50 have not yet been announced, so the final standings and the full list of restaurants ranked in 2026 remain unknown. The source report also does not provide details on the selection process for this year’s results or explain how individual restaurants’ positions were determined.
La Cucina Italiana discusses anticipation around Italian restaurants, but speculation about which restaurants may enter the top 50 is not a confirmed result. Uliassi’s No. 51 position does not indicate whether another Italian restaurant will appear in the higher-ranked portion.
Lima’s November 4 Reveal
The next scheduled milestone is the announcement of the top 50 in Lima on November 4. That reveal will complete the published ranking and show which restaurants occupy the leading positions, as well as whether any additional Italian restaurants appear above No. 50.
Until then, the confirmed results are limited to places 51–100 and the geographic and restaurant details published with that list. The final standings should be assessed once the remaining positions are released.
