New entries on the list include Chennai’s Avartana (No.30), Singapore’s Born (No.36), Manila’s Metiz (No. 48), Beijing’s Refer (No.50), and Bangkok’s Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh (No.33), Potong (No.35) and Baan Tepa (No.46).

William Drew, Director of Content for Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, says: “We salute all the restaurants who have made it onto the list. We also offer our heartiest congratulations to Le Du: Chef Ton and the team’s ability to combine their passion for Thailand’s culinary heritage, respect for homegrown ingredients and flair for modern cooking techniques is what makes the restaurant a true winner.”
