Announced today: World’s Best Restaurants 51-100

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  food    Posted date:  May 26, 2015  |  No comment


The World’s 50 Best Restaurants won’t be announced until Monday, but to whet our appetites, the organization behind the list has announced what they consider to be the best restaurants 51-100.

I’ve eaten at three of these, which you can click through to and check out my experiences below. Sadly, I never made it to #92, St. John, but rather the spin-off St. John Bread and Wine, for reasons explained at the link.

There are a few surprises here—The Fat Duck, which had been #33 in 2013 and #47 in 2014, has fallen out of the top 50 and is now #73.

Manresa, which in 2014 was #62, this year dropped to #100, almost falling off the list entirely. Of course, it was closed for many months due to a fire last year after my meal there. (I had nothing to do with it, I swear!)

51. Geranium, Copenhagen
52. Tim Rau, Berlin
53. Hertog Jan, Bruges
54. Hof Van Cleve, Kruishoutem, Belgium
55. The Clove Club, London
56. Saison, San Francisco
57. Septime, Paris
58. Quay, Sydney
59. DiverXO, Madrid
60. Hedone, London
61. Martin Berasategui, San Sebastian
62. 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana, Hong Kong
63. L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Paris
64. Maaemo, Oslo, Norway
65. Combal Zero, Rivoli, Italy
66. Amass, Copenhagen
67. Nomad, New York
68. Nerua, Bilbao
69. Momofuku Ko, New York
70. Waku Ghin, Singapore
71. De Librije, Zwolle, Netherlands
72. Restaurant at Meadowood, St. Helena
73. The Fat Duck, Bray, UK
74. Jaan, Singapore
75. Coi, San Francisco
76. Fu He Hui, Shanghai
77. Indiana Accent, New Delhi
78. La Maison Troisgros, Roanne, France
79. Ryunique, Seoul
80. Daniel, New York
81. Joe Beef, Montreal
82. Le Louis XV, Monte Carlo, Monaco
83. Tegui, Buenos Aires, Argentina
84. Sepia, Sydney
85. L’Effervescence, Tokyo
86. Hajime, Osaka, Japan
87. Brae, Birregurra, Australia
88. The Tasting Room at Le Quartier Français, Franschhoek, South Africa
89. Zuma, Dubai
90. Estela, New York
91. Belcanto, Lisbon
92. St. John, London
93. Jungsik, Seoul
94. Masa, New York
95. FU1015, Shanghai
96. Mikla, Istanbul
97. Esperanto, Stockholm
98. Vila Joya, Albufeira
99. Lung King Heen, Hong Kong
100. Manresa, Los Gatos, CA

One more thing—I’m hoping the absence of Boragó from the extended list—where it was #91 last year—means it has risen into the Top 50, rather than having fallen out of the Top 100, because Chef David Kinch and staff certainly deserve it.
