Announced today: The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2015

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  food    Posted date:  June 1, 2015  |  1 Comment


Last week, the group behind the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list announced runners-up #51-100, of which I’d been to three. Today, they announced the Top 50.

When the Top 50 was announced for 2014, I was able to say that I’d dined at four of them (though that’s not in a single year, but rather over the course of my lifetime). This year, that number has risen to seven, and you can click through below to see what I thought of each of my visits.

1. El Celler de Can Roca, Girona, Spain
2. Osteria Francescana, Modena, Italy
3. Noma, Copenhagen
4. Central, Lima, Peru
5. Eleven Madison Park, New York City
6. Mugaritz, Guipúzcoa, Spain
7. Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, London
8. Narisawa, Tokyo
9. D.O.M., Sao Paolo, Brazil
10. Gaggan, Bangkok
11. Mirazur, Menton, France
12. L’arpege, Paris
13. Asador Etxebarri, Bisquay, Spain
14. Astrid y Gaston, Lima, Peru
15. Steirereck, Austria
16. Pujol, Mexico City
17. Arzak, San Sebastian, Spain
18. Le Bernardin, New York City
19. Azurmendi, Larrabetzu, Spain
20. The Ledbury, London
21. Le Chateaubriand, Paris
22. Nahm, Bangkok
23. White Rabbit, Moscow
24. Ultraviolet, Shanghai, China
25. Faviken, Sweden
26. Alinea, Chicago
27. Piazza Duomo, Alba Italy
28. Test Kitchen, Cape Town South Africa
29. RyuGin, Tokyo
30. Vendrome, Germany
31. Frantzen, Sweden
32. Attica, Australia
33. Aqua, Germany
34. Le Calendre, Italy
35. Quintonil, Mexico
36. L’astrance, France
37. Amber, Hong Kong, China
39. QuiQue Dacosta, Spain
40. Per Se, New York City
41. Mani, Sao Paolo, Brazil
42. Boragó, Santiago, Chile
42. Tickets, Barcelona, Spain
44. Maido, Lima, Peru
45. Relae, Copenhagen, Denmark
46. Restaurant Andre, Singapore
47. Ducasse au Plaza Athenee, Paris, France
48. Schloss Schauenstein, Austria
49. Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Pocatino Hills, New York
50. The French Laundry, Yountville, California, USA

Of all these, I’m happiest for Rodolfo Guzmán and his team at Boragó, who finally cracked the Top 50 by tying for #42. They deserve the recognition.

Will the next twelve months allow me to visit any of the other 43 restaurants on this list? Wait and see!

I’ve eaten at zero of them. But I ate at The Salt Lick!
