Restaurants from Bangkok claim both the No.1 and No.3 spots, with Le Du and Nusara, respectively. Le Du, led by chef Thitid 'Ton' Tassanakajohn, presents a modern take on refined Thai food interpreted through a French-leaning lens. Its menus champion the use of seasonal and local ingredients and the steadfast belief in the superiority of Thai produce. Tokyo's Sezanne is The Best Restaurant in Japan, at No.2.

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."
