"Asia's 50 Best Restaurants" awards were handed out at Macau's Wynn Palace Tuesday night and for the first time in five years; there is a new "best restaurant" in Asia. Sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, the awards are considered by many to be the Oscars of the Asia fine dining world, bringing together top chefs from around the largest continent on the planet. The list is compiled based on votes from 300 industry insiders, including food writers, critics, chefs and restaurateurs. Singapore's Odette restaurant walked away with the top prize, replacing Bangkok's four-time winner Indian restaurant Gaggan, into second place. Led by chef Julien Royer, Odette is located in Singapore's National Gallery and serves Asian-inspired modern French cuisine. Named after Royer's maternal grandmother, Odette received the "Asia's Highest New Entry Award" in 2017 before rising to the number five spot in 2018. Last year, it debuted on the "World's 50 Best Restaurants" list at No. 28. In total, Singapore ended the night with seven restaurants on the list, including Burnt Ends (No. 10) and Jaan (No. 32). Japan lead the night with the most venues in the top 50 this year, 12 to be exact. Tokyo's Den took the No. 3 spot, making it Japan's best restaurant for a second consecutive year. Three other restaurants in Japan also cracked the top 10: Floril�ge (No. 5), Narisawa (No. 8) and Nihonryori RyuGin (No. 9). Meanwhile, the "Highest New Entry Award" went to Bangkok restaurant Gaa, which grabbed the No. 16 spot on the "Asia's Best" list. Located on the same street as Gaggan, it's led by executive chef Garima Arora, who was named Asia's Best Female Chef 2019 and last year became the first Indian woman to win a Michelin star.
