Plus, the restaurants leaving London, the art world's most coveted dinner invitations, and a French restaurant that’s been charming Londoners for more than 60 years.
50 Best is a popularity contest driven by PR exposure. The more a restaurant spends on entertaining who they deem to be voters, the higher it will rank. So perhaps KOL is not investing as much in PR as it did in its heyday? Ironically, KOL is also an abbreviation for key opinion leader, the 50 Best voter demographic 😂
And yes as a FooDiva said, being on the top 50 is connecting to having more journalists, assumingely voters and opinion makers in the industry coming to your place (restaurant, bar, hotel) and if you don't have the funding it's hard to do it. So these shifts (and also first spots) are highly fluctuating mostly for this reasons.
Or you got the voters in but they had better experiences elsewhere? Or sth else.
I like the lists and accolades (and stars) but still not going all in just with them when searching for a place to eat.
