![Chambers, a restaurant in New York City, USA.]()
Phone: (212) 580-3572
Address: 94 Chambers Street #1, New York
Sustainability Prize New York, presented by Oddbird 2026
While many of the key players from Racine’s are still around, there is something unbelievably fresh and new about the feeling at Chambers. The food menu is charmingly broken up into the categories of First, Then, Followed By, and With. The food is extremely seasonal, driven by what is available that day at the market, and while the vibe is down-to-earth, the food and ambience are elegant and exciting. The wine list at Chambers is an absolute gem, which is no surprise as Pascaline Lepeltier is one of the partners. There are glasses of wine starting at $9 (a thing that is slowly disappearing f...

![Barra, a restaurant in Berlin, Germany.]()
Phone: 030 81860757
Address: Okerstraße 2, Berlin
Best Short List Germany 2026
A small oasis of freshness in the heart of Neukölln – Barra is a lovely restaurant serving a very seasonal menu composed of small sharing dishes. The menu changes daily, due to the season and the quality of the produce; ”If it smells or looks funny, don't cook it!” is the kitchen's simple philosophy. The restaurant is minimalist but refined.Please book in advance as it's quite often fully booked. Another benefit of this restaurant is that when you sit and dine at the bar, you have the feeling that you are right in the kitchen, watching what the boys are up to.

Phone: +32 468 51 71 35
Address: Mechelsestraat 87, Leuven
Best Long List of the Year Belgium & Netherlands, presented by Smaragd Wijnen 2025
Convento once started as a wine store with a small bar and has since grown into a store with a wine bistro and bar in the centre of Leuven. The wine bistro has a very homely and quiet atmosphere. On sunny days you can also enjoy the lovely terrace. The wine bistro brings a very pure, daily fresh and original cuisine. Convento has compiled a very nice wine book over the years. Very important to them are the producers who make the wine and you can see that in the wine list: not only are many different regions represented but it also offers a vertical depth of top producers.

![Apricity, a restaurant in London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 020 8017 2780
Address: 68 Duke Street, London
Sustainability Prize UK, presented by Esterházy 2026
Apricity is a low waste, sustainably driven restaurant in the heart of upmarket Mayfair. Their compact wine list of just over 100 wines follows suit, featuring growers who prioritise biodiversity and soil regeneration, naturally reflecting the terroirs with minimum interventions used. ‘Wines of the week’ enhance their regular by the glass offer, and for a list of this size a healthy nod to English fizz, interesting rosé, skin contact and ‘afters’ (including a plum fruit sake brewed in London, under flor treats from Jerez and the Jura and a sparkling Puglian pick-me-up). Despite its conscie...

Sustainability Prize France 2026
Nestled in the heart of the 10th arrondissement, Les Résistants covers two floors on the corner of Rue du Château-d’Eau and Rue de Lancry. It has a cosy bistro atmosphere and feels like a neighbourhood joint I would visit frequently had I lived in the area.

As a guest you experience this through the lovely dishes that are provided by enthusiastic staf...
