Bigger and more ambitious than previous editions, Best Eats 2026 marks a significant milestone for the Indonesian Food and Beverage scene and for FoodieS. This year, the awards will name the 100 Best Restaurants in Indonesia, acknowledging the country’s evolving culinary landscape and the growing appetite for thoughtful, experience-driven dining.
Launched in 2017, Best Eats by FoodieS was created in response to Indonesia’s rising food-driven culture. The mission has remained consistent: to recognize outstanding dining establishments across the country through a process that is transparent, ethical, and driven by experts.
What began as awards highlighting the Top 40 Restaurants in Jakarta and Bali has grown into a nationwide benchmark. Guided by a panel of respected figures across the culinary industry, Best Eats continues to uphold its founding principle—objectivity above all.
