For the second year running, Seoul played host to one of Asia’s most prestigious culinary events — the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards — held on 25 March 2025 at the Grand Hyatt Seoul. With chefs, critics, and restaurateurs flying in from across the region, the evening cemented the South Korean capital’s growing status as a dynamic food destination — not just for Korean cuisine, but as a hub for cross-cultural innovation and excellence.
