Three-Michelin-starred Odette has been knocked off the top spot for the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021 list. It’s been surpassed by The Chairman in Hong Kong, while a Singaporean pastry chef based in Taipei has been named Asia’s Best Pastry Chef.

Singapore however sees several new entries this year, namely Restaurant Euphoria (41), Labyrinth (40) and Cloudstreet (31) joining the list. Mainstays like Jaan dropped to 42 from last year’s 21st place, while Burnt Ends now places at 14. Minor movements include Restaurant Zen, which rose five spots to 23, while Les Amis weighs in at 13 down from 11 last year.

Bangkok, Hong Kong and Tokyo dominate the latest list, cementing the three cities as Asia’s culinary capitals with acclaimed chef Gaggan Anand‘s eponymous eatery — a reincarnation of his former restaurant — being named as the highest new entry at 5th spot. Le Du in Bangkok meanwhile hit big, breaking to the fourth spot up from 8th last year.

“This is the most motivating thing in my entire life,” says chef Gaggan Anand. “With your love and support, we might survive this.”

Other accolades include the titles of Asia’s Best Pastry Chef, which goes to Singaporean chef Angela Lai from Tairroir in Taipei. The award for Asia’s Best Female Chef meanwhile, belongs to chef Deaille Tam whose Shanghai restaurant Obscura opened in November 2020.

The 2021 list is released days after the restaurants ranked from 51 to 100 were revealed for the first time. These lists are compiled and published by William Reed Business Media, and voted on by over 300 leaders in the culinary field from the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy.
