Prix Versailles (Architectural and design Award Series) has released a list of the 16 most beautiful restaurants in the world for 2025. The selection committee chose these restaurants for their stunning design, unique atmosphere, and strong cultural connections. Represented in cities such as Dubai, Paris, New York, and Shanghai, these restaurants are examples of the fact that architecture and ambiance are equally important as food.
In December, three of these restaurants will be awarded global titles. Prix Versailles also promotes “intelligent sustainability” that marries culture with the environment. Some of the highlights from the Middle East area include:
