Top 10 Restaurants in the World

It goes without saying that most of us love eating out but have you ever wondered which restaurants are officially classed as the best in the world? Well, that’s what the ‘World’s 50 Best’ organisation is here for and here we have for you a breakdown of their list of the best eateries this planet has to offer…

1. ‘Eleven Madison Park’, New York City, USA.

For the first time since 2004, the USA has hit the top spot with decadent New York eatery, Eleven Madison Park. As you might be able to guess, this restaurant isn’t cheap and can sometimes cost up to $1000 for 2 people but something tells us it’s worth it – especially the highly-coveted tasting menu.

2. ‘Osteria Francescana’, Modena, Italy.

Located only an hour away from Italian food Mecca, Bologna, Osteria Francescana has topped the list when it comes to European countries thanks to it’s exquisite yet minimalist food and décor.

3. ‘El Cellar de Can Roca’, Girona, Spain.

Run by culinary marvels ‘the Roca Brothers’, this restaurant (in the heart of Catalonia) has previously been crowned number one on this list twice thanks to its Michelin-star cuisine (they have three to be exact!). Therefore claiming the number three spot is still a very respectable fall from grace – it had to happen one day.

4. ‘Mirazur’, Menton, France.

Boasting one of the most spectacular views on this list, overlooking the beautiful French Riviera, Mirazur and its inventive take on Mediterranean food have proved themselves worthy of the number four spot.

7. ‘Gaggan’, Bangkok, Thailand.

So far, ‘Gaggan’ (run by gourmet chef Gaggan Anand) has featured three times on the top 10 restaurants in the world list and his exceptional take on Indian cuisine looks like it will earn him a place for many years to come.

9. ‘Mugaritz’, Gipuzkoa, Spain.

It might look minimalist in some pictures but Mugaritz is anything but, with its 20 course sit-down meals that see many a visitor experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. This generally takes place alongside a lot of wine and laughter in their stunning outdoor area in to the early hours of the night.

10. ‘Steirereck’, Vienna, Austria.

If modernity is more your scene then you’d be best served to visit the juxtaposition that is Steirereck: a contemporary dining experience situated in the heart of traditional Vienna. The food is leaps and bounds ahead of its time as well, showing a considered respect for local ingredients.
