The ten restaurants you must visit this year

The pinnacle of our awards—this year and in the future—is The List 2025 by the FNL Restaurant Awards! This list features the ten restaurants you must visit this year. They are not necessarily the ten best based solely on star ratings; rather, they are the ten establishments that, for various reasons, left the strongest impression on us. They are the experiences that provoked the deepest emotions and offered unforgettable moments—ten “must-experience” destinations.

This list is always kept current and dynamic. It’s shaped by the restaurants themselves—by their innovation and resilience—by the audiences that support and engage with them, and by our own decisions to shine a spotlight on their excellence.

The List includes both restaurants that have earned at least one star, as well as emerging venues that are on a clear trajectory toward earning one, provided they maintain their momentum. We consider gastronomy an integral part of the overall experience, and this curated selection reflects those who are shaping the culinary landscape.

Finally, it’s worth noting that the restaurant achieving the top spot each year is automatically excluded from subsequent lists, joining the elite “No. 1” club.

These are the restaurants that, in order of priority, you should include in your plans for 2025:

  1. Pharaoh, Athens (No. 3 in 2024)
  2. Scorpios Mykonos, Mykonos
  3. Etrusco, Corfu (No. 2 in 2024)
