It may be called the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, but this culinary popularity contest actually honours 100 entries, and here they are. My ultimate food goal is to eat at all of them…
In June 2016, the World’s 50 Best Restaurants were announced at a swish ceremony in New York attended by the who’s who of the culinary world. El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain was toppled from the top slot by Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy. It’s now fully booked as far into the future as reservations are permitted. Launched in 2002, the list was created by the editors of UK-based Restaurant magazine and is now recognised as one of the most influential restaurant listings in the world, alongside the Michelin Guides. According to the panel of judges – multiple teams of roving reviewers based across the globe – these are the hottest 100 reservations in the world right now…
