Share places the editors should research.
Share between one and ten restaurants nominations. Base every choice on your own recent experience rather than reputation, publicity or hearsay.
Individual responses remain confidential. Public nominations are editorial intelligence only: they never create Academy membership, voting rights, ranking value or publication.
How restaurant nominations work
Nominate from experience, in your own order of preference.
Nominate the restaurants that gave you the most compelling recent dining experiences. Consider the restaurant as a complete place: food, service, atmosphere, identity and consistency. The geographic scope for this nomination call is Asia.
What belongs in your nominations
- You must have dined at every restaurant you recommend within the previous 24 months.
- The experience must have taken place at the restaurant itself, not at a pop-up, residency or off-site event.
- Nominate the restaurant, not an individual chef, owner or restaurant group.
- Do not include a restaurant you own, work for, represent, advise or hold a financial interest in.
What happens to a public nomination
The submission becomes a research lead for the stated category and region. It does not become a calculated ranking value, a member ballot or a promise of coverage.
Academy applications are reviewed separately. Only an appointed member can access the official ballot, which records dates, funding and conflicts for every listed place.
