    The World’s Best 50 Restaurants – everything you should know

    The World’s Best 50 Restaurants – everything you should know

    Every year, The World’s 50 Best announces the The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

    This is the first time since 2004 where a USA restaurant, Eleven Madison Park, made it to the top of the list. In 2004, French Laundry in Napa Valley held the coveted title. Last year Osteria Francescana (Modena, Italy), now number 2 on the list, took first prize, with Eleven Madison Park taking bronze.

    This year, no African restaurant made it on to the top 50 list, with USA, Italy and Spain holding the top 3 spots.

    The only two South African restaurants that made the full list of 100 restaurants are The Test Kitchen and La Colombe (both in Cape Town), who placed 63rd and 73rd, respectively.

    “With an expanded voting Academy and an increase to 10 votes per person, the 2017 list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants brings a stronger pool than ever of incredible dining experiences spread across the world. Led by 26 regional chairs, the voting Academy is made up of chefs, restaurateurs, gastronomes and food critics.

    This year’s ranking, revealed at an awards ceremony in Melbourne, Australia, showcases restaurants from 22 countries, with six new entries and three new entries from Paris to Tokyo”  Source
