From molecular gastronomy to the classic coq au vin, elite dining is one of the biggest joys of a private jet lifestyle. It is in this spirit that we present Elite Traveler’s guide to the World’s Top Restaurants.
Across the globe, the standard of restaurants is ever on the up, with big name chefs stealing headlines, fighting for awards and changing the way we think about food. It’s an exciting time to unfurl a napkin, and our expectations as diners have never been higher.
Our guide features 100 restaurants loved not just by the critics, but by the wealthy elite who spend their lives traveling the world and dining in style. By gathering your views, we discovered where high net worth individuals have been eating in the past year, and which places have wowed you.
We continue to welcome your feedback, whether it’s a nod of approval or table-thumping disgust—your comments will help shape future editions of the guide. To submit your views on any of the restaurants featured here, or to suggest a venue for inclusion, please email us at restaurants@elitetraveler.com and make your voice heard.
