The 2026 edition of The World's 50 Best Restaurants, announced on November 4 at a ceremony in Lima, Peru, brought disappointing news for Berlin's fine-dining scene. Nobelhart & Schmutzig slipped to 76th place (down from 59th in 2025), Coda in Neukölln fell to 82nd (from 79th), and Tim Raue in Kreuzberg dropped to 85th (from 58th). Raue had maintained a place in the top 50 continuously from 2016 to 2024, while Nobelhart & Schmutzig once reached 17th globally in 2022 and 43rd in 2024. Germany's best-performing restaurant this year was Munich's Restaurant Jan, helmed by three-Michelin-star chef Jan Hartwig, who climbed to 19th place with a seven-course tasting menu priced at €380. The list is compiled by British media company William Reed using 40 regional experts across 27 global regions and covers 100 restaurants in total despite its 'World's 50 Best' branding.
