France's Exclusive La Liste Names the Top 1,000 Restaurants in the World
If you're in Miami for Art Basel, check out the four restaurants in the Magic City
La Liste, the French Foreign Ministry’s very own guide to its top 1,000 restaurants in the world, released its 2025 edition.
Unlike the Michelin Guide, La Liste is a power ranking, with scores compiled from reviews from more than 1,000 guidebooks and publications (including the Michelin Guide) and online customer reviews from sites such as OpenTable and TripAdvisor. La Liste then tasks the world’s best chefs and other hospitality professionals to vet the publications and guides for accuracy. Then, the scores are ranked from 1 to 100.
For instance, heavy hitters Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl (Basel, Switzerland), Restaurant Guy Savoy (Paris, France), L’Enclume by Simon Rogan (Grange-over-Sands, UK), La Vague d’Or (Saint-Tropez, France), Le Bernardin (New York, NY), Lung King Heen (Hong Kong), Matsukawa (Minato-ku, Japan), Schwarzwaldstube (Baiersbronn, Germany), and Single Thread (Healdsburg, California) all tied for the highest score of 99.50 points each.
New York restaurants making the grade include Daniel, with a 98.50, Atomix (96.00), Jean-Georges (95.50), Jungsik (94.50), Gabriel Kreuther (93.00), Per Se (92.50), Atera (92.00), Tatiana by Kwame Onwauchi (92.00), Koloman (90.50), the Modern (90. 50), and more.
In California, it should be no surprise that Atelier Crenn (97,00) and the French Laundry (97.00) made the list, to name but a few.
For those in Miami for Art Basel and Miami Art Week, four restaurants in the Magic City made the list. The excellent and intimate Omakase restaurant, Naoe, received an 86.50; followed by fellow Omakase restaurant, Hiden with a score of 85. Design District stunner, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon received an 83.00 score, and Korean steakhouse, Cote Miami, received a 78.50.
Victoria & Albert’s, a Five-Diamond dining experience located most unexpectedly in Orlando’s Walt Disney World resort, also made the list with a ranking of 93.50.
