Trip.Gourmet Celebrates 10 Years with the 2027 Fine Dining List

On September 8, 2026, Trip.Gourmet, the culinary branch of Trip.com Group, celebrated its tenth anniversary by unveiling its 2027 Fine Dining List at a global launch event in Singapore. This event, in partnership with Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), gathered culinary experts, restaurant partners, and media from around the world to spotlight a decade of connecting travelers with exceptional dining experiences.

A Global Culinary Index

The newly launched 2027 Fine Dining List encompasses an impressive total of 744 restaurants across 105 cities and 40 countries and regions. This year, the list introduces 34 new destinations, expanding its coverage from the previous years and affirming its evolution from a single-market ranking to a global dining index that spans six continents. The restaurants are categorized into three tiers: Black Diamond, Diamond, and Platinum. Notably, the top tier, Black Diamond, now includes 60 elite dining establishments.

Fine Dining Trends

Trip.Gourmet’s CEO, Sunny Sun, stated, “Today’s travelers are not just enjoying food where they visit; increasingly, a memorable meal influences their travel decisions, dictating where and when they choose to go.” This insight reflects the growing trend of food-led travel, emphasizing the importance of culinary delights in shaping travel itineraries.

The list's composition reveals significant geographical trends: Asia-Pacific boasts nearly two-thirds of the total with 478 restaurants, notably led by gastronomic capitals like Tokyo, Shanghai, and Beijing. Europe, with its remarkable diversity, claims recognition for restaurants in 20 countries across 35 cities, while the Americas contribute 63 restaurants across 14 urban centers with New York taking the lead.

Singapore’s Recognition

Hosted in Singapore, the event highlighted 27 local restaurants, including 3 Black Diamond, 8 Diamond, and 16 Platinum tier establishments. Renowned venues like Odette, Les Amis, and Restaurant Labyrinth signify Singapore's ascent as a top culinary destination. RWS's Chen Si voiced pride in showcasing Singapore's culinary diversity, asserting the commitment to enhancing the city-state's dining landscape.

New Initiatives: WOW Privileges and Global Table Booking

Accompanying the Fine Dining List, Trip.Gourmet also introduced the WOW Privileges program, aimed specifically at their Black Diamond members. This initiative unlocks exclusive dining experiences, such as access to hard-to-book restaurants with priority seating and unique menus.

Additionally, enhancements in Trip.Gourmet’s infrastructure enable travelers to explore dining options through the Global Table Booking feature, which connects them to over 43,600 restaurants worldwide, further enabling seamless booking experiences.

Rising Interest in Food-Driven Travel

As announced during the launch, food-related searches have surged by 45% in the past eight months, revealing a growing obsession with culinary travel. The data shows heightened interest in various dining categories, with restaurant searches up 68%. This ongoing interest indicates that travelers are increasingly integrating their gastronomical desires with their destination choices, as illustrated by burgeoning trends in restaurant-specific search terms.
