印度分子料理的神話Gagaan獲選為—2015亞洲五十間最佳餐廳完整名單(2015 Asia's 50 Best Restaurants)－良好印象傳媒 Favorable Impression Media @FIMMEDIA

不到一個月前，良好印象在曼谷的Gaggan餐廳專訪老闆兼主廚的Gaggan Anand,他告訴我們料理不該分為印度料理、西班牙料理、或法式料理，他的料理就是屬於Gaggan的料理,沒想到現在他的餐廳已被票選為亞洲第一,站上世界都在矚目的舞台,Gaggan眼眶紅著表示這一路走來真不容易，但他終究是辦到了！(內含亞洲五十間餐廳得獎完整名單)

今年38歲的Gaggan，在印度加爾各答長大，22歲時曾經接待美國前總統柯林頓，又做過印度總統廚師，然而他的企圖心不只是侷限在印度，「我想讓更多人了解什麼是印度料理､進而喜愛它。」Gaggan說，於是他不厭其煩地打了20幾通電話給位於西班牙的El Bulli餐廳(當時被譽為世界最佳的分子料理餐廳)，最後終於被大師阿德里亞接受，Gaggan抓緊機會努力鑽研，將傳統的印度菜注入新烹調技法的生命。

2010年他在泰國曼谷開了第一間以印度分子料理為名的餐廳Gaggan，去年英國權威飲食雜誌《餐廳》公佈全球50最佳餐廳，Gaggan排第17位，今年既然躍升為全亞洲第一，全世界前十大應該已是勝券在握。

特別值得注目的是由台灣廚師江振誠主導的Restaurant André今年獲得第5名，比去年的排名上升1名，而且第三度奪得S.Pellegrino新加坡最佳餐廳（The S.Pellegrino Best Restaurant in Singapore）。同時江振誠參與經營的新加坡首次入選餐廳Burnt Ends也獲得了第30名，André今年也堪稱是大贏家。

江振誠以其特別的餐飲「八角哲學」聞名於世，但他不因此而停止努力，在這段時間內，他分別在台北開設了RAW與巴黎的Porte 12餐廳，其成績都備受矚目，同時他更積極與各國際名廚，如Daniel Humm(紐約米其林三星)及來自北歐丹麥的AMASS合作，不但提升了自已的能見度，Andre Chiang儼然就在國際名廚之列。

於2014年首次入選的樂沐法式餐廳今年排名第26名，再獲S.Pellegrino台灣最佳餐廳（The S.Pellegrino Best Restaurant in Taiwan）。不過很可惜的是，今年台灣依然只有

Le Moût上榜，在今年台灣愈來愈多Fine dining餐廳進駐後，期待明年有更多的餐廳能晉級這項餐飲盛會。

特別值得注意的年輕新銳主廚分別是新加坡JAAN主廚Julien Royer，今年只有32歲，以法式料理為基底的品質穩定美味，在今年又進步六名到第十一名的情況下，未來潛力不可限量；

另一位是香港天空龍吟主廚佐藤秀明( Hideaki Sato )，去年雖然吊車尾擠入亞洲五十大，今年已大幅躍升至第24名，挾著在日本龍吟嚴謹的訓練與實力，即將自己在香港開新餐廳的Sato也不容忽視。

而泰國除了Gaggan外，同時入選亞洲50最佳餐廳榜單的泰國餐廳包括2014年的榜首Nahm（今年第7名）、Eat Me（第25名）、Bo.lan（第37名），以及Issaya Siamese Club （第39名）。一共有八間新餐廳於亞洲50最佳餐廳榜單亮相，而首次有餐廳入選的國家則包括菲律賓（Antonio’s，第48位）及柬埔寨（Cuisine Wat Damnak，第50位）。中國的餐廳在亞洲50最佳餐廳榜單中入選數目再度冠絕亞洲，囊括16 席，緊隨其後為占十席的新加坡和八席的日本。

上海餐廳Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet（今年躍進為第三名,又被暱稱為神秘餐廳）,榮獲S.Pellegrino中國最佳餐廳獎(The S.Pellegrino Best Restaurant in China)，此殊榮去年的得主為香港的Amber（第六名）。然而，Amber的主廚Richard Ekkebus今年依然再創佳績，這位備受尊崇的烹飪大師受同行們推選為Nespresso贊助的「主廚之選」（Chefs’ Choice Award, sponsored by Nespresso）大獎得主。

連續第三年，位於東京的餐廳Narisawa（第二名）再度榮獲S.Pellegrino日本最佳餐廳（The S.Pellegrino Best Restaurant in Japan）;山本征治主廚的日本龍吟餐廳也在第四名之列。韓國在亞洲餐飲業界繼續大放異彩，今年有兩間新餐廳上榜，包括Ryunique（第27名）和勇奪Peroni Nastro Azzurro贊助的最值得關注餐廳獎的羅宴（La Yeon，第38名）。繼2014年首次入選後，林正植（Jungsik Yim）的首間首爾餐廳Jungsik乘勢上升十名至第十名，並榮獲S.Pellegrino韓國最佳餐廳（The S.Pellegrino Best Restaurant in Korea）。

亞洲50最佳餐廳」今年踏入第三屆，由聖沛黎洛（S.Pellegrino）和巴娜（Acqua Panna）贊助，頒獎典禮3月9日於新加坡嘉佩樂酒店隆重舉行，公佈2015年度結果。
