Do you know which are the best restaurants in the world? This year's list of the 50 best restaurants in the world was recently announced in New York. This year, Massimo Bottura was crowned the winner with his restaurant Osteria Francescana. Spain's El Celler de Vana Rocka is considered the 2nd best restaurant in the world, while New York's Eleven Madison Park rose from 5th to 3rd place. The big (unpleasant for many) surprise of the evening was that the Danish restaurant Noma, which since 2009 has always ranked in the top three places, and has stepped on the first step quite a few times, fell to 5th place this year.
Check what they are the best restaurants in the world 2016. Selection 50 best restaurants has been taking place in the world since 2002 and has reached its peak in an extremely fast time big influence.

The method of voting on the allocation of places remains the target of fairly well-founded criticism. Votes are not necessarily anonymous, and evaluators may also accept free dinners and even travel expenses to restaurants. The latter is also questioned: How can the best be objectively determined with such different characteristics and concepts of restaurants? Many chefs and critics agree that the order is not so important (neither as an endorsement nor as an aid to recognition), but it is an extraordinary achievement to be included in this prestigious list. Finally, one more thing: from our capital to the officially best restaurant in the world only a good 4 hour drive.
