Following their recent Michelin Star and #4 ranking on The Middle East and North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants list, Trèsind Studio brings the UAE back to acclaim on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, debuting at an impressive #57 in the 51-100 bracket.

The list reflects the opinions and experiences of 1,080 anonymous voters from 27 regions across the globe and is a key source of dining inspiration for global gastronomes.

The voters are comprised of chefs and restaurateurs, food writers and well-travelled gourmets, with 50% of voters being female and 50% male.

The year 2022 marks the first appearance by a UAE restaurant in many years, with 2016 being the last time a restaurant from the Emirates made the cut.

The 2022 list features two restaurants from the UAE, with Studio being the highest ranked.

The 51-100 list was released ahead of the upcoming London-based top 50 announcement event, scheduled for 18th July. 

The highly prized ranking is the latest in a string of achievements for Trèsind Studio, having recently been judged Restaurant of the Year by FACT and What’sOn magazines, two toques by Gault & Millau and one star in the inaugural Michelin Guide Dubai.

Trèsind, the multi-award-winning and critically acclaimed flagship of Passion F&B, has been serving guests their progressive take on Indian fine dining since 2014.

An amalgamation of two small words (‘Trés’ for very and ‘Ind’ for India), Trèsind has been considered among the region’s leading restaurants since its inception. Trèsind’s passion for showcasing the intricacies of Indian cuisine, its regional diversity and hidden gems has garnered them a fervent fan base both locally and internationally, leading to a Mumbai location being added to their portfolio in recent years.  

Trèsind Studio is an immersive, intimate journey into Modernist Indian cuisine. Chef Himanshu Saini and his team of dynamic young chefs craft elevated seasonal tasting menus with creative dishes that have taken inspiration from everything from Frank Sinatra to lockdown banana bread. Studio’s butlers meld world-class service with the finest in Indian hospitality to deliver a fine dining experience like no other in Dubai, for just 20 guests per seating. 

Meantime, each year The World’s 50 Best Restaurants releases a series of comprehensive culinary lists, including regional selections highlighting Latin America, Asia and now, Middle East and North Africa.

A global panel of chefs, food journalists and global gastronomes vote for their favourite culinary destinations, creating lists that celebrate the diversity of the world’s culinary landscape since 2002. The 2022 1-50 list will be revealed during an in-person ceremony on 18th July in London.
