On Thursday, September 25, chefs, restaurateurs and hospitality workers gathered in Las Vegas for the announcement of\u00a0North America\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants<\/a>. A first for the 50 Best\u00a0brand, the inaugural listing considered restaurants from across the continent, including the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. And for the first time out of the gate, a New York restaurant nabbed the top honor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The number one spot for North America\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants went to the fine Korean restaurant, Atomix<\/a>. The Nomad area restaurant, led by couple JP and Ellia Park, was recognized for its \u201cwell-paced 12-course tasting menu of Korean-based plates, featuring world-class flavour and texture combinations.\u201d The publication went on to note that the restaurant\u2019s combination of food, drink and design set to \u201cforge a new narrative for Korean cuisine across the globe.\u201d This only adds to a series of accolades for Atomix as the restaurant is currently ranked number 12 on the World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants<\/a>, the highest North American restaurant on the list.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all. New York dominated the listing with 13 restaurants in total, including Atomix, topping the list. Number nine and ten went to top French restaurants of the scene: Eric Ripert\u2019s Le Bernardin<\/a><\/strong> and\u00a0Le Veau d\u2019Or<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>the recently revived restaurant by Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson<\/a>. Williamsburg’s critically acclaimed wine bar The Four Horsemen<\/a><\/strong> ranked at number 15 and Jody Williams and Rita Sodi\u2019s simplistic yet impossibly hard to get into Italian restaurant, Via Carota<\/a><\/strong>, ranked number 18. Chef Atsushi \u201cATS\u201d Kono\u2019s Japanese yakitori offerings at Kono<\/a><\/strong> took the 23rd spot, followed by Fredrik Berselius\u2019s Nordic cuisine at Aska<\/a><\/strong> who came in at 24.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saga<\/a><\/strong>, who is now led by Charlie Mitchell<\/a>, took number 33 and Jungsik<\/a><\/strong>, the first Korean restaurant in the U.S. to receive the three stars from the Michelin Guide<\/a>, came in at 35. Northern Mexican cuisine from Fidel Caballero\u2019s Corima<\/a><\/strong> came in at 36, while C\u00e9sar Ramirez eponymously named restaurant, C\u00e9sar<\/a><\/strong>, grabbed number 38. Andrew Carmellini\u2019s ever popular Caf\u00e9 Carmellini<\/a><\/strong> came in at 39 and Penny<\/a><\/strong>, which topped our best new restaurants list of 2024<\/a>, took the last spot for New York, coming in at number 40.\u00a0<\/p>\n
